Types of Communicative Strategies

Nomination
Restriction
Turn-taking
Topic Control
Topic Shifting
Repair
Termination
Nomination

 A speaker carries out nomination to collaboratively and productively


establish a topic. Basically, when you employ this strategy, you try to open
a topic with the people you are talking to.
Examples:
 “Do you have anything to say?”
 “Have you heard the news about the prettiest girl in school?”
Restriction

 Restriction in communication refers to any limitation you may have as a


speaker. When communicating in the classroom, in a meeting, or while
hanging out with your friends, you are typically given specific instructions
that you must follow.

Examples:
 In your class, you might be asked by your teacher to brainstorm on peer
pressure.
 You are asked to deliver a speech in relation to love.
Turn-taking

 Turn-taking pertains to the process by which people decide who takes the
conversational floor. There is a code of behavior behind establishing and
sustaining a productive conversation, but the primary idea is to give all
communicators a chance to speak.
Examples:
 “Go on with your ideas. I’ll let you finish first before I say something.”
 “Excuse me, I think we need to speak one at a time, so we can clearly
understand what we want to know about the topic.”
 “Can we all listen to the one who talks in front of us?”
Topic Control

 Topic control covers how procedural formality and informality affects the
development of topics in conversation. This only means that when a topic is
initiated, it should be collectively developed by avoiding unnecessary
interruptions and topic shifts.

Examples:
 “One of the essential lessons I gained from the discussion is the importance
of communicative strategies in maintaining a good conversation.”
Topic shifting

 Topic shifting, as the name suggests, involves moving from one topic to
another. In other words, it is where one part of a conversation ends and
where begins.

Examples:
 “By the way, you look beautiful today.”
 “In addition to what you said about Trishia is that she is also beautiful.
Repair

 Repair refers to how speaker address the problems in speaking, listening,


and comprehending that they may encounter in a conversation.

Examples:
 “I’m sorry, the word should be pronounced as “pretty” not “priti.”
 Excuse me, but there are seven types of communication strategies not six.
Termination

 Termination refers to the conversation participants’ close-initiating


expressions that end a topic in a conversation.

Examples:
 “It was nice meeting you. Bye!”
 “That is all for today, class. Goodbye!
 Prepare for a skit that you will present next meeting.
 Prepare for a long quiz (Speech Acts and Communicative Strategy)
 Prepare for an oral recitation 
Thank you for Listening 
