Application Study Of Host Speech Interruption Behavior

In everyday interpersonal communication,interruption is always considered to be disrespectful and inconsistent with the general principles of cooperation and courtesy.This form of turn-taking has been studied by scholars from various perspectives,including anthropology,sociology and psychology.Focusing on the verbal interruption behaviour of the host Sa Beining in the programme " Let’s Talk ",the paper uses case studies and other research methods to dig deeper and explore it from the perspective of pragmatics.In the course of hosting various programmes,the host will often interrupt guests who are speaking.The act of interrupting is different that from in interpersonal communication in everyday life.It is implemented as a communication skill and strategy to control the time or effectiveness of the programme,playing a vital role in the programme.When a guest deviates from the programme’s theme,expresses ambiguous content,or expresses inappropriate language and a series of other situations that are not conducive to the programme’s normal operation,the host interrupts the guest through language to guide the guest back to the topic of the conversation,in order to make the programme run smoothly and improve the overall effect of the programme.This shows that verbal interruption is an effective way for the host to take the initiative and take control of the programme,and it is also a necessary strategy and skill for the host." Let’s Talk " held by “CCTV”,China’s first public youth television programme,has been receiving high ratings and critical acclaim since its launch in August 2012.The reason for this is not only the popularity of the guest speakers,but also the interaction among the hosts,the guest speakers and the youth representatives in the programme.In the process of interaction,the hosts obtain deeper content from the guest speakers through verbal interruptions,so as to better control the direction and rhythm of the interaction between the guest speakers and the youth representatives.This paper selects 30 episodes of "Let’s Talk" from 2012 to 2023 as research corpus in chronological order,and explores the types and functions of verbal interruption in the interaction between the host,the speaker and the youth representatives.The verbal interruptions of the host Sa Beining in "Let’s Talk" are not stereotypical or written,but are usually presented to the audience in the form of a living and spoken language,following the Principles of Cooperation,Politeness and better-order,so that the words are easy to understand and comprehensible,while expressing intimacy and fun.While it has a number of positive effects in terms of driving the programme forward,enhancing its effectiveness and creating a living discourse,the essence of the programme is to better meet the needs of the audience.Thus,as one of the most effective speech techniques for regulating and adjusting the programme and ensuring its effectiveness,the host’s verbal interruptions must always follow the principles of audience focus,thematic concentration and other relevant discourse principles This is one of the most effective ways of regulating and adjusting the programme and ensuring its effectiveness.There have been a number of studies on verbal interruptions in the industry,but few studies have been conducted on the verbal interruptions of hosts,especially on the highly rated and representative programme "Let’s Talk".This paper combines the research results of previous related disciplines to provide an in-depth analysis of the verbal interruptions of the hosts.Collecting the verbal interruptions of the hosts in the programme "Let’s Talk" as the research corpus,the paper combines such interdisciplinary disciplines as pragmatics to quantify and analyze the types and functions of verbal interruptions in the programme as well as the relevant pragmatic principles involved in the verbal interruptions,in an effort to put forward New perspectives.This study will help to understand the importance of the rational use of verbal interruptions to avoid the destructive effects of interrupting others interpersonal interactions in everyday and provide guidance for everyday interpersonal interactions,as well as having some implications for other types of programmes.
