Abstract
A turn-taking system allocates speaking turns in conversation. Nonetheless, on occasion speakers start up out of turn. This report examines one procedure, Delayed Completion, that speakers use to finish a discontinued turn after an intervening utterance by another speaker. Speakers employ resources intrinsic to the turn-taking system, such as the projectability of turn unit completion, ta regain turn occupancy and to locate the utterance of the out-of-turn speaker as having been interruptive. When the intervening utterance makes a next action relevant, Delayed Completion can also cancel the relevance of that next action.
