Topic and Turn-taking in Talk Show Discourse

Original language description

The paper illustrates how topics are navigated in talk show discourse with examples from a case study of “The Graham Norton Show”. The semi-institutional character of talk show discourse requires that topics are monitored by the host, but also allows a certain amount of negotiation between the host and the guests. It is one of the responsibilities of the host, whose role is at the top of the hierarchy of power within the institutional setting of a talk show studio, to find a balance between these two approaches to topic selection. Therefore, the paper focuses on the discursive strategies of the host, and using the concepts of conversation analysis and the grammar of conversation, it demonstrates how topics are initiated, shifted, and developed.
