"Only One Speaker at a Time" on the Wolof village square?

Christian Meyer

pp. 169-263

Conversations on the village square start when, after their noon, afternoon, evening and night prayers in the mosque, several of the elder men extend mats under one of the shadier trees of the square and settle down. The people who meet know each other very well, since they have grown up together in the village and every day spend hours on the village square in conversation, at least during the dry season. In what follows, I analyze several of the informal conversations in regard to their conversational organization.
