Organization of Female Turn Taking Pattern inUrdu Conversations

Abstract

This article looks at the norms of turn-taking in Urdu discourse as an aspect of female
communication tactics. A "turn-talking game" is what Tannen (1984) describes communication as
being. This study aims to discover the structure of female turn-taking patterns in Urdu
conversations and the distribution of turns within them. While the data does demonstrate that
speakers switch and turn size and ordering might fluctuate, the majority of the time, just one side
is speaking at a time. Different methods are employed to distribute turns, and those transitions are
meticulously coordinated. The research also considers overlapping and pauses in Urdu
conversation, but they do not distort the turn-taking pattern. Instead, these elements are ruled
preserving.
