Abstract
The main purpose of the study was to map the conversation patterns of the citizens from
various strata of society. The data of conversations about eight topics at six loci were collected
from a sample of 338 citizens from five major cities of Pakistan: Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar,
Rawalpindi, and Islamabad through a questionnaire. The data of the study provide basic
conversational trends of the citizens of Pakistan and the frequently discussed topics by them.
It also reflects on relationship between the topics of discussion with the loci. Findings of the
study showed that law and order and inflation are the most discussed topics while the topics
related to political issues turned out to be one of the least discussed.
