Human communication builds on a highly cooperative and interactional infrastructure-conversational turn-taking. Turn-taking is characterized by reciprocal, alternating exchanges between two or more interactants, avoidance of overlap, and relatively short response times. Although the behavioral principles governing turn-taking in spoken interactions of human adults have been investigated for decades, relatively little is known about the acquisition of conversational turn-taking skills and the developmental trajectories of turn-taking comprehension and production. The aim of the present review was to provide a comprehensive overview of turn-taking development enabling the extrapolation of developmental milestones and investigations across species and taxa. it thus aims to serve as a crucial guide to our current understanding of turn-taking in childhood and instigate a better understanding of turn-taking phylogeny, its evolutionary roots, as well as systematic, quantitative applications across and between species, thereby possibly bridging the existing gap between linguistic and nonlinguistic species.
人类交流建立在高度合作和互动的基础之上——对话中的轮流发言。轮流发言的特点是两个或更多互动者之间相互交替的交流、避免重叠以及相对较短的反应时间。尽管几十年来一直在研究支配成年人类口语互动中轮流发言的行为原则，但对于对话轮流发言技能的习得以及轮流发言理解和产生的发展轨迹却知之甚少。本综述的目的是全面概述轮流发言的发展，以便推断出发展里程碑，并进行跨物种和分类群的研究。因此，它旨在成为我们目前对儿童期轮流发言理解的关键指南，并促使人们更好地理解轮流发言的系统发生、其进化根源，以及跨物种和物种间的系统、定量应用，从而有可能弥合语言物种和非语言物种之间现有的差距。
