Keywords:Turn-Taking, Non-Verbal Information, Completion Point

In Japanese, it is difficult to recognize completion point only by syntactic information because Japanese is the language whose case structure is not determined by word order. However, turn-taking occurs smoothly and there is little possibility that long silence or duplication occurs between utterance.I claim that non-verbal behavior such as non-speaker's gaze and backchannel is important to recognize completion point of turn-taking in multi-party conversation. In this paper, we observed an excerpt of dialog from the video recording s of the discussion. I found that there were differences in gaze of non-speakers between when speakers switched and when the speaker continued.
