On the east bank, there was a neighborhood of shanty homes and a large area of vacant land. The idea to create a large urban park on the banks of the Seyhan River was first included in the city plan in 1988 by the mayor, Aytaç Durak. Named Merkez Park, it was planned to be built in an area from north of D-400 State roa... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkez_Park |

At the 1994 local elections, Aytaç Durak was elected mayor for a second term. He had to modify the original plan of Merkez Park due to the constructions in the project area. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkez_Park |
The modified project resumed by re-zoning the neighborhood within the project area. There were around 100 homes in the area and demolition of the homes started in 1998. During this period, the Sinanpaşa footbridge was built to connect both banks of the Seyhan River. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkez_Park |
Sabancı Mosque, at the corner of Seyhan bridge, was completed in 1998. Before the construction of Merkez Park, a citywide recreational pathway was completed on both banks of the Seyhan River. Park construction started by building the major pathway of the park from Galleria to Sabancı Mosque. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkez_Park |
Citrus trees were completely removed and converted into multi-functional green areas.

Conversation analysis was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s principally by the sociologist Harvey Sacks and his close associates Emanuel Schegloff and Gail Jefferson. : ix–lxii Sacks was inspired by Harold Garfinkel's ethnomethodology and Erving Goffman's conception of what came to be known as the interaction... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |

The analysis of turn-taking started with the description in a model in the paper known as the Simplest Systematics, which was very programmatic for the field of Conversation analysis and one of the most cited papers published in the journal Language.The model is designed to explain that when people talk in conversation... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
A listener will look for the places where they can start speaking - so-called transition relevant places (TRPs) - based on how the units appear over time. Turn construction units can be created or recognized via four methods, i.e. types of unit design: Grammatical methods, i.e. morphosyntactic structures. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
Prosodic methods, e.g. pitch, speed and changes in pronunciation. Pragmatic methods: turns perform actions, and at the point where listeners have heard enough and know enough, a turn can be pragmatically complete. Visual methods: Gesture, gaze and body movement is also used to indicate that a turn is over. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
For example, a person speaking looks at the next speaker when their turn is about to end.Each time a turn is over, speakers also have to decide who can talk next, and this is called turn allocation. The rules for turn allocation is commonly formulated in the same way as in the original Simplest Systematics paper, with ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
At the end of that TCU, the option system applies again.Based on the turn-taking system, three types of silence may be distinguished: Pause: A period of silence within a speaker's TCU, i.e. during a speaker's turn when a sentence is not finished. Gap: A period of silence between turns, for example after a question has ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
Speakers wanting a long turn, for example to tell a story or describe important news, must first establish that others will not intervene during the course of the telling through some form of preface and approval by the listener (a so-called go-ahead). The preface and its associated go-ahead comprise a pre-sequence. Co... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
Talk tends to occur in responsive pairs; however, the pairs may be split over a sequence of turns. Adjacency pairs divide utterance types into first pair parts and second pair parts to form a pair type. There are many examples of adjacency pairs including Questions-Answers, Offer-Acceptance/Refusal and Compliment-Respo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
Sequence expansion allows talk which is made up of more than a single adjacency pair to be constructed and understood as performing the same basic action and the various additional elements are as doing interactional work related to the basic action underway.Sequence expansion is constructed in relation to a base seque... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
Pre-expansion: an adjacency pair that may be understood as preliminary to the main course of action. A generic pre-expansion is a summon-answer adjacency pair, as in "Mary? "/ "Yes? | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
".It is generic in the sense that it does not contribute to any particular types of base adjacency pair, such as request or suggestion. There are other types of pre-sequence that work to prepare the interlocutors for the subsequent speech action. For example, "Guess what!"/"What?" | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
as preliminary to an announcement of some sort, or "What are you doing? "/"Nothing" as preliminary to an invitation or a request. 2. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
Insert expansion: an adjacency pair that comes between the FPP and SPP of the base adjacency pair. Insert expansions interrupt the activity under way, but are still relevant to that action. Insert expansion allows a possibility for a second speaker, the speaker who must produce the SPP, to do interactional work relevan... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
An example of this would be a typical conversation between a customer and a shopkeeper: Customer: I would like a turkey sandwich, please. (FPP base) Server: White or wholegrain? (Insert FPP) Customer: Wholegrain. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
(Insert SPP) Server: Okay. (SPP base)3. Post-expansion: a turn or an adjacency pair that comes after, but is still tied to, the base adjacency pair. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
There are two types: minimal and non-minimal. Minimal expansion is also termed sequence closing thirds, because it is a single turn after the base SPP (hence third) that does not project any further talk beyond their turn (hence closing). Examples of sequence closing thirds include "oh", "I see", "okay", etc. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis |
CA may reveal structural (i.e. practice-underwritten) preferences in conversation for some types of actions (within sequences of action) over others, as responses in certain sequential environments.

Turns in interaction implement actions, and a specific turn may perform one (or more) specific actions.
