"To sustain the energy of social occasions, Italians often engage in a form of casual conversation that prioritizes sociability and the production of cheerful and vociferous ‘talking together’. This form of mundane talking (chiacchierare) features much simultaneous speaking and no competition for turns at talk, hence differs significantly from common conversational practices in many Anglo-American societies, demonstrating how the rules for conversation are far from universal. Conversational techniques used to accomplish talking together are described, including vocal gestures, repetition, prosody, rhythmic speaking, crescendos, and celebrations. Alongside voicing, listening is considered, and shown to be a critical component of sociable simultaneous talk."[/quote]

My family of origin does this though we are not from this culture (it is attributed to other cultures).  This is real.  I am ok with it.  It seems fun and friendly.  Other people hate these conversational behaviors and are quite judgmental about them.

The people I can talk to like this have long attention spans and are patient with people they like.  So everybody eventually gets a long turn. If the thought one wanted to get out has to wait a couple minutes, it usually makes no difference to the flow of conversation or the value of the information.  [/quote]
