AN EXPLORATION OF TURN-TAKING STRATEGIES AND THE REFLECTION OF POLITENESS PRINCIPLE IN INTERVIEW PROGRAMS -- TAKING TAYLOR SWIFT'S GUEST ON LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS AS AN EXAMPLE.

This paper presents an exploration of turn-taking strategies and their reflection of the politeness principle in interview programs. Conversations, while appearing effortless, require coordination of multiple cognitive processes, including turn-taking. Turn-taking, an integral part of any multi-party conversation, can be impolite when inappropriate. Drawing from previous research on turn-taking and the prisoner's dilemma, this study examines the strategies employed by guests and hosts in reality talk shows, particularly focusing on how these strategies reflect the Politeness Principle. This research analyzes the specific turn-taking strategies and their politeness implications. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of turn-taking in interview settings and their significance in maintaining politeness and effective communication. This study offers insights for future research on conversational strategies and their role in interpersonal communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
