Abstract

The absence of appropriate sequencing of turns in conversation has resulted to ambiguities andineffectiveness in communicationamong interlocutors in English discourse. This paper reviews the place of the current speaker in a discourse floor by locating the role adequate segmentation of conversation play in discourses and establish the relationship between the use of language and its application in a discourse and also established language as a core factor and regulator of the social and interpersonal relationship in a connected speech of interlocutors.Descriptive method of research was adopted using Speech Act frame work theory as propounded by Austin J. and Searle.The paperdiscovered that proper sequence ofturn-taking in conversation provided a free flow interaction in the various discoursesas it is difficult and almost impossible for a particular participant in a discourse floor to be a speaker and a listener simultaneously. This in turnunderscored the fact that turn-taking is a chaining principle of give-and- take which when adequately implemented exterminated inconsistencies and ambiguity in a discourse processes.The paperrecommended that properTurn-taking sequencing in a Discourse is a tool to effective communication in a related speech of Interlocutors.
