TURN-TAKING MECHANISM IN THE LATE LATE SHOW BY JAMES CORDEN YOUTUBE CHANNEL

Abstract

Each person who wants to engage in a conversation should be aware of the role of turn- taking, particularly in turn-taking mechanisms that decrease the violations of each other during a conversation. The study focused on finding what types of turn-taking are used in The Late Late Show by James Corden and how turn-taking mechanisms occur between the host and the guest stars during the conversation. This study consisted of data collection which is done by observation, taking notes on critical information related to turn-taking mechanisms, and doing qualitative. It was found that the talk show used some kind of turn- taking mechanism, and taking the turn was the most frequently used. In addition, every conversation has its own unique set of mechanisms. This study implies that, regardless of the mechanism used, the coherence and cohesion of the participants' utterances are what matter most in a conversation.
