Summary/Abstract: This paper refers to the basic components of the implicit system of organizing the conversation within the ethnomethodological model of conversational analysis: the rules of the speaker’s intention to intervene in a conversation and turn-taking markers. In the structure of the various interventions contained in the spoken interactions, elements that make their end predictable and, therefore, the possibility of transferring the role of the speaker are included. At the right moment for changing the speaker, two rules of the speaker’s intention to intervene in a conversation are applied, namely, the designation of the next speaker by the one who is speaking and self-selection as the speaker. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to focus on identifying and analyzing the turn-taking markers in the current Romanian television discourse. Turn-taking markers are classified as follows: markers for requesting the role of speaker, markers for assignment/transfer of the role of speaker and markers for protecting the role of speaker.
