Abstract
This study analyzed the conversations of Bontoc-Kankanaey through determining the parts of their conversations as well as the conversation strategies they employ. It also compared the BontocKankanaey language to Iloko language, and provided the relevance of the results to language teaching. The researcher recorded conversations in four domains namely: home, school, workplace, and marketplace. She subjected these recorded conversations to transcription, translation to English, and analysis. She found out that the Bontoc-Kankanaey conversations in all domains follow Schegloff parts’ of a conversation. Likewise, Bontoc-Kankanaey interlocutors employ conversation strategies like turn-taking and adjacency pairs. The results of this study were deemed important to mother tonguebased education and the cause of indigenous language preservation. This study proved that there are similarities and differences between Ilocano conversation structure and that of Bontok-Kankanaey.
