Discourse analysis, differing from traditional pedagogy which teaches text structures in lexical, grammatical and phonological analysis, is fundamentally concerned with the relationship between language and its use in the social context. It is about language in everyday use and is above the sentence. This paper examines mainly the linguistic elements from spoken text and further analyses their functions in meaning dissemination. Turn-taking, back-channels, hedges, fillers, discourse markers, pause and hesitation devices are exemplified and demonstrated in real dialogues. The dialogues are extracted from the script of the sitcom Friends to illustrate how language mechanisms work. Conversation analysis is used to disclose how 'natural' talk works in context and makes sense of what is said in specific circumstances. This paper confirms that conversation analysis plays a critical role in the construction of a coherent communication. Also, EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers can extend their language pedagogy to use it as an aid to English teaching.
