Conversation Closings

Conversation Closings is a pragmatic phenomenon in discourse analysis that denotes the structured and context-sensitive phase in which interlocutors employ verbal and nonverbal cues to signal the mutual recognition of an impending end to an interaction, thereby distinguishing it from other conversational phases such as openings or continuations.
