COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGIES
These are plans, ways or means of
sharing information which are adopted
to achieve a particular social, political,
psychological, or linguistic purpose.
NOMINATION STRATEGY
When introducing a topic at the beginning of a
Communicative Situation, what is being used is the Nomination
Strategy. It is a strategy that can also be applied any time during
the course of an interaction as a way of continuing the
communication. When this strategy is used, the topic is
introduced in a clear and truthful manner, stating only what is
relevant to keep the interaction focused.
EXAMPLES:
Have you noticed the weird weather
lately? Is this because of global warming?
I was late for class again! The MRT
stopped midway. What is wrong with
the MRT?
RESTRICTION COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
Is a strategy that constrains or restricts the
Response of the other person involved in
the Communication Situation. The Listener
is forced to respond only within a set of
categories that is made by the Speaker.
EXAMPLE
•They say that the Philippine economy is
getting better. Only the stupid thinks that,
right? (No one wants to be stupid.)
•That arrest move was a disaster waiting to
happen. Do you agree? (Yes/No)
TURN-TAKING COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
Requires that each Speaker speaks only when it is his/ her
turn during interaction. Knowing when to talk depends on
watching out for the verbal and nonverbal cues that signal
the next Speaker that the previous Speaker has finished or
the topic under discussion has been exhausted and a new
topic may be introduced.
TURN-TAKING COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
At the same time, it also means that others should be
given the opportunity to take turn. Turn-taking
Communicative Strategy uses either an informal approach
(just jump in and start talking) or a formal approach
(permission to speak is requested).
EXAMPLE
I agree with the point just made. But may I add that
OFWs would rather be home and work here so they
could be with their families.
May I have the floor, sir? The topic under discussion is
the state of the Philippine economy today. We want
better lives for all Filipinos, whether they are working
here or abroad.
TOPIC-CONTROL COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
After the Nomination Communicative Strategy,
the interaction is kept going by using the Topic-Control
Communicative Strategy. This is simply a question-
answer formula that moves the discussion forward. This
also allows the Listener or other participants to take
turns, contribute ideas, and continue the discussion.
EXAMPLE
How do you often ride the MRT, Tony? How many
times have you encountered a stoppage in service?
Your car may break down, too, Luna, right? So you
have to find another means of getting to school. We all
do not want to be late for class, yes?
TOPIC-SHIFRING CONNICATIVE
STRATEGY
The strategy that is useful in introducing
another topic. This strategy works best when
there is follow-through so that new topic
continues to be discussed. This is also used in
Repair Communicative Strategy.
EXAMPLE
This is a battle with corporations that continue to
pollute the environment. But this is also a battle with
man himself, who continues to act as if there is
another Earth we can move to once this Earth dies.
If we cannot use the Earth’s resources, our economies
will die. We need to choose: the economy or the
environment.
REPEATING
Is a good way of correcting one self and gives the
Speaker time to do just that. Recasting means
changing the form of a Message that could not be
understood. It allows the Speaker to say the
Message in another way so that the Listener can
understand what was originally incomprehensible.
TERMINATION
Lastly, Termination Communicative Strategy ends the
interaction through verbal and nonverbal Messages that both
Speaker and Listener send to each other. Sometimes the
Termination is quick and short. Sometimes it is prolonged by
clarification, further questions, or the continuation of the topic
already discussed, but the point of the language and body
movement is to end the communication.
