Abstract: Through an extension of the conversation analytic approach to occasions of public address, authors claim about the structure and speaker-audience coordination in public speaking by examining the relationship of call-response to speaker inflection and repetition as well as certain structural aspects of the text. What recommends conversation analysis as a method for examining public address is that it reinstates the importance of some of the live" qualities of public speech. The manuscript form in which speeches are usually studied has been assimilated to prose conventions. The pioneering work on the conversation analytic approach to public address has been by a British sociologist, Max Atkinson, who considers the speaker as contributing one side of the interaction, and the audience's applause the other. According to Atkinson, applause is for the most part a highly coordinated activity. He claims that these displays involve a simultaneously coordinated activities by a group of people and have as a design that they can readily be done together.
