Abstract(in English) In this research, we analyzed turn-taking phenomena in spontaneous dialogue comparing Japanese Sign Language (JSL) and Japanese oral language (JOL) based on the turn-taking rules for oral language by Sacks et al. Three dialogue data by six native signers of JSL and three dialogue data by six native speakers of JOL were used for the analysis (each dialogue was about 5 minutes long). As a result, it was suggested that JSL followed the turn-taking rules similarly to JOL, while overlap duration in JSL was longer than in JOL. Two reasons were found: (1) when overlap occurred in JOL, the original speaker had a tendency to stop his/her utterance, but in JSL, he/she continued his/her utterance to the end, (2) signers in JSL sometimes repeated or restated his/her utterance after TRP and this resulted in overlap with next signers. However, in the situation (2), it was observed that the signer released his/her turn after TRP by lacking or weakening NMSs (non manual signals). From these results, we discussed the influence caused by differences between visual language and oral language.
