Abstract

In a conversation, one way of showing that the hearer is listening to the speaker is to produce the vocal signals which are called "BC(back channel) signals". These types of signals like "uh-uh", "hmm" and "mm" provide feedback to the current speaker that the message is being received. They also indicate that the listener is not objecting to what the speaker saying. Although producing BC signals appears to be universal, their usage in different societies seems language specific and is tied with the culture. In particular, BC production does not rely on the sole listener. this study concerns lexical, grammatical, prosodic and semantic factors which are involved in back channeling in the Persian conversations.
