Transcript Analysis

• Speaker B frequently pauses during their speech, so uses fillers like, "um" and "like" to fill these gaps in speech to avoid a longer pause. 
• The pause in-between lines 6 and 7 suggests that all speakers that all speakers are acknowledging what speaker C had just said. 
• The connotation *Laughter* after this pause shows that the speakers found this statement funny, however it could also be due to the speakers supporting another speaker, by making them feel humorous and included in the conversation. 
• Some forms of non-standard English are used like, "cus", "wanna", "yeah" and "kinda", this represents the relationship between the speakers, as the register here is clearly informal. 

• The transcript is a chain of adjacency pair, as the topics flow as expected because they are linked. 
• Speaker A uses the filler, "uh" more than once when they speak for the second time, suggestive of a thought process during their speech. 
• Speaker C spoke more frequently than the other speakers, but their speech is often brief and short, this could show that the speaker may feel that the conversation is unnatural, due to their lesser quantity in speech. 
• Speaker D speaks the least amount in this transcript, but their speech appears to bethe most forma, with the exception of the use of, "cus", showing that they may not feel as comfortable or as casual as some of the other speakers do. 
• With the common use of the question mark, it is acceptable to suggest that the intonation at the end of the utterances that use tis punctuation is rising. 
• The common use of phatic talk here suggests that the speakers have fairly new relationships with each other, hence the relatively polite conversation being made here
