👉 Unpromptness is a term in linguistics that refers to a sudden or abrupt cessation of conversation, usually followed by silence. It is often used to describe someone who does not respond to an interruption in their conversation and may be unprepared for a follow-up question or comment. Unpromptness can occur naturally during conversations or as part of a more deliberate behavior such as leaving the room or responding to a call without waiting for a response.
