Description: Turn holding, also known as floor holding, refers to practices that a current speaker may deploy to inhibit what might otherwise be hearable as a transition-relevance place (TRP) (see, e.g., Selting 2000). Current speakers thereby work to secure speakership beyond such points, engendering a projected or actual multi-unit turn.
