Peer reviewedWilson, Thomas P.; Zimmerman, Don H. – Discourse Processes, 1986
Indicates a periodic structure in the distribution of between-turn silences in two-party conversation, a finding that is inconsistent with current stochastic or signaling models, which view social interaction as an exchange of stimuli and responses. Finds that social interaction is fundamentally a collaborative activity. (JD)
