It provides a definition of the genre of conversation by describing nine features of conversation, namely multiple sources, discourse coherence, language as doing, co-operation, unfolding, open-endedness, artifacts, inexplicitness and shared responsibility. These nine features of naturalness in conversation serve to distinguish conversation from specialized discourse types. The study illustrates the nine defining features of conversation with authentic conversational data collected surreptitiously in England. While this study is of native speakers of English, the nine defining features of naturalness of English conversation are applicable to conversations conducted in other languages. 410 0$aPragmatics & beyond ;$vnew ser., 152. 606 $aConversation analysis 606 $aDiscourse analysis 606 $aNaturalness (Linguistics) 615 0$aConversation analysis. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis. 615 0$aNaturalness (Linguistics) 676 $a302.3/46 686 $aER 990$2rvk 700 $aWarren$b Martin$f1962-$01799626 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965429603321 996 $aFeatures of naturalness in conversation$94344009 997 $aUNINA
