OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Turns in talk structure conversation and its imitation in writing, especially drama. They also structure thinking and the imitation of thinking in poetry. Taking a sestina by Sir Philip Sidney as proof text, this paper will explore the ways in which the dynamics of turn-taking, in shared and inner speech, interact both with the formal properties of poetry and with the turn of figuration.
