Speakers advance-project turn completion by slowing down: A multifactorial corpus analysis

Turn transition in talk-in-interaction is achieved with remarkable precision, most commonly following a gap of no more than 200 ms (e.g., Stivers et al., 2009). How the precision is achieved is a complex issue given the wide range of variables co-participants to talk-in-interaction deploy to project (as speakers) and predict (as listeners) turn completion. This paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of one such variable used by...
