Document Summary
Real conversations can be very and are often nothing close to what we see in movies. They require certain elements to function as well. The term personnel refers to individuals, and to meet this requirement a conversation must have personnel to conduct it. In addition to personnel a conversation requires three more aspects: pre sequences. These are conversation starters like hello and what"s up that let the other person know that you are interested in a conversation: action-sequences. This is an exchange of relevant information between parties to further the conversation towards its goal: common ground. Knowledge held by both parties that will influence what is discussed. For example if you want to talk about roger but the person you"re conversing with doesn"t know who roger is, then you must establish common ground. You know roger? who? my roommate! oh yeah roger, the tall guy.
