Abstract
Conversation is complex. It is amazing how easily participants coordinate their actions to establish a discourse and make points often with little conscious effort in daily conversation save for a few special cases. To date, numerous authors have investigated conversations from a wide variety of angles. In this chapter, we overview major theories that enable us to understand conversation in a structured manner.
