Abstract
The Information Theory is one of the most important contents in systemic and functional grammar. Conversational unit is the smallest component in conversational structure. Conversational unit transfer is a course in which one must stop speaking and some other people begin to speak. Conversational unit transfer includes interruptive transfer and non-interruptive transfer, and the latter has a internal impetus with a regularity. This paper talks about the regularity of impetus and its usages to text study.
