4.1.2.2.2 Self-select
Some utterances do not require a particular participant to respond like what is found in adjacency pair. In other words CSSN is not applied or the current speaker does
not select the next speaker to take turn. Moreover, not every utterance is a part of an adjacency pair. For this case, rule 1b is applied; if the current speaker does not select
next, then at TRP any speaker may begin. The first starter is the person who has the turn. One who starts earlier has an advantage, and it becomes a problem for the slow
starter participants. Rule 1b also allows speakers to compete for turns that will leads to overlapping talk or simultaneous talk.
Self-select SS hereafter can be seen in excerpt 44 which has just been explained. A’s remark line 1 is not directed at anyone in particular, but it is a
statement to the entire group. Furthermore, it is not the first part of an adjacency pair which does not require the next adjacent respond. At the end of A’s statement:
Marsiajar dope horoa nai motoran, B self-selects with questions asking clarifiction or B initiates a repair of A’s statement.
More self-selects can be found in excerpt 45 which can be reconstructed below. 1
A : dison nuaeng , tommat ni halak tulang. 2
tulang si aha , tulang anak si Edison. 3
dakkana songon ahai dope. 4
B : tibbona = 5
A : = nga nason tibbona , nga ro suhatna 6
angka tommat doi nikku? lagi aha dope. 7
B : songino do daba . adong do las si laga-laga. 8
hurasa anggo sappulu kilo sakkabona 9
adong ma tommatna. 10

11 B : i.
12 A : oh nion hape aha ni Janji i.
13 B : i Janji i.
A line 1 does not apply CSSN, his statement is not directed to a particular participant. At the end of A’s turn, B line 4 self-selects. He can project the increment
of A’s turn, by filling in the slot of the missing word. So B here not only projects TRP but also makes allignment to A. At the end of TCU line 3; Dakkana songon ahai dope
tibbona, the word in parenthesis that should have been included by A in his utterance after dope, is completed by B in self-select turn. Then A line 5, 6, and 12 , B line 7,
8, and 9, 11, and 13, and C line 10 at the next turns make self-select. So who gets to speak is determined by who self-selects, when and how quickly they do it. This can
give a place for participants to compete to get the first turn because the first starter would be the next speaker. A in line 5 takes a quick self-selecting at the end of B’s turn
in line 4, which is shown by a latched utterance beteween them, symbolized by equal sign in the data.
