And even sometimes the teller who gives up the right to talk firs, but immediately he tries to talk again. Speech exchanges frequently and complexly. Overlaps and talking turns occupancy happen from the beginning of the discussion till the end and all these mean the limitation control of turn--taking system on the Leaderless Group Discussion.Secondly, based on the speech exchanged frequently in the Leaderless Group Discussion, the third part of the article orientates the patterns of the listener how they can become the storyteller through self-option.Then carry on the classification of the patterns, which can be divided into two kinds:the normal optional patterns and the unusual optional patterns.
