: My context:
: "Scollon & Scollon's concept of "distribution of talk" which refers t the mutual agreement between individuals as to who talks first, *holds the floor*, how each takes a turn or interrupts is useful here..."
: I'm not sure about the meaning of "holds the floor".
: Is it who has the right to speak, or who dominates the conversation and speaks most of the time?
: Thank you very much
The humble frog guess:
"holds the floor" = "takes control"
Experts will certainly add on...
