They are turns between speakers when they make a conversation. for example Questions & answers. Greeting & greeting. complaint & apology. e,g , first speaker says how are you ?( this is pair) second speaker will answer, I am fine. according to Sacks that he said some conditions about this topic. 1- They are two utterances long. 2- The utterances are produced successively by two different speakers. 3- The utterances are ordered. 4- The utterances are related to each other.
