You already have the upper hand in any conversation that happens to be an argument. You have your position and you believe in it. People will try to sway you from your position, hopefully using logic and argumentation. It is your choice to be swayed or not...hence the upper hand. If you leave the conversation completely unconvinced of their position, they've lost because you haven't changed your mind. This is what is known as a "Private Victory". No bells will ring, but in your own mind you are victorious.
Shutting someone down quickly is usually done: "I'm sorry but I disagree, and am not interested in arguing so perhaps we should change the conversation" Then do so.
If they continue, calmly repeat the above sentence..again. Broken record it until they knock it off, and if they
How can you dominate a conversation?
Without talking the whole time, how do you shut your conversational "opponent" down in a fashion that leaves you with the upper hand? Especially if the conversation happens to be an argument?
I had a colleague once who would just look skeptical when someone told a story, then saying in a deadpan voice, "that sounds like quite an adventure", which made anyone look like a drama queen.
While he was a one-trick-dick, you can do something similar by working on your skeptic expression. A deadpan voice can make be very effective, especially with words that are intended to convey high emotion, like 'fabulous' or 'fantastic' or 'awesome'.
However, while it might shut someone up and assert your dominance, you won't make any friends in a hurry, so you will suffer the
Confidence , u can dominate anything with your confidence whether a conversation or a person . If u have confidence the other person would surely surrender at a point. So say whatever you say with confidence and if you are right then the confidence should also be of high level . If you fumble then even if u are right u won’t be admired so be confident in everything you do . Being a law student I m taught that “Jhuth bhi bolu toh itne confidence se ki samne wala sach man le .”(Even if you lie , lie with a such a confidence that people trust it to be true .) its just a pun about our profession but u don’t use it in real life . If u are right say with confidence if not just keep quite and listen to others that will also increase your knowledge . Hope u got your answer .
That way you end up with a genuine and respectful exchange of views where 'winning' isn't important but widening your understanding of the world is.
As well as turning a confrontational one where you both benefit, it also helps you to refine your viewpoint to make it stronger in the long term and makes both the person you're talking to and anyone observing gain genuine respect for
First, never get into an argument. Rarely will you be discussing things with someone who wants to understand things from a scholastic point of view; mostly arguments are manifestations of some kind of insecurity related to the topic at hand..
Any argument with a peer or colleague at work etc; I do not agree with you and also realize its futile to make a logical point with you, RIGHT NOW…lets take this up later..this is assertive but those two words dont make you a dick to the people around;
A point of discussion with a person in power; (1)always listen carefully and then say Thanks for your advice/feedback..I do not agree with your assessment and the reason for that is..(reason)/(2) thanks for your advice/ views; but currently I would like to discuss(xyz) and drive your agenda
I have been known to incorporate a talking stick, usually a pen or ruler in these situations. Apparently, animated, dominating discussions are not an original problem, go figure? When it is introduced, instructions are given to listen to the speaker for 2 whole minutes and not focus on your own talking points. Yes, people do not always accomplish the latter, but at least those who are getting drowned out get a chance to be heard. Sometimes, they even introduce a new perspective. It is amazing how quiet it gets when we must actually listen to one another. I have never had anyone object to incorporating this age-old custom. I have used it in many family discussions and meetings that are running off the tracks.
Maybe someone really smart could introduce a great, timed talking stick App
If a conversation is dominated it’s all about you. Conversations are supposably about all participants: feelings, opinions, etc. By asking questions regarding your feelings, opinion, etc. You can have the other person respond. But you need to structure questions around also what interests the other person to have a real conversation. I may make a statement using an open ended sentence with a question in tow.
Essentially, the less you want them to change, the more power you have. If you can find a way to take what they are saying, and demonstrate how they are arguing your side for you, while you don't have anything that you are asking for or needing of them, then they can't get an upper hand over you.

Not sure if I can think of a word but a phrase might be suitable. The person you describe talks over other people.

Traditionally, "holding court" refers to what is done by a king , not a judge.
– Random832

"holding court" has been democratized and is now an idiomatic phrase meaning " commanding the attention " of whoever. Kings & judges are no longer required.

@Random832: Judging was one of the primary functions of a king. Everyone else who did it was exercising delegated powers. This is why a tribunal is called a "court', because originally it was the royal court. Elected judges are very much historical outliers.

Interesting comments above about 'holding court' in the sense of a King (or Queen?) - Also makes sense if you consider the wider (non-legal) meaning of the word 'court' in the case of Royalty ie in the sense of - those people who are invited to hang around with the Royals in their household - so 'holding court' would in that sense be the Monarch sitting in their throne room , attempting to be the centre of attention to the invited set of admirers/hangers-on.

Not quite a long tedious speech; Speaker prompts a response but doesnt actually allow the response to be heard because the speaker begins talking again as if the response was heard.

An apt answer. Can you copy in the definition of "domineering" from your favorite dictionary (make sure to mention which dictionary!).

As your definition states, this does not necessarily describe one that dominates a conversation.

@DogLover I find it impossible to have a conversation with someone that talks without interruption, so I suppose you are right in that there would be no conversation to dominate.

Someone dominates a conversation by not letting others get a word in. I'm thinking its a combination of snow job and fillibuster (though not political in nature).
EDIT: to clarify, Not quite a long tedious speech; Speaker prompts a response but doesnt actually allow the response to be heard because the speaker begins talking again as if the response was heard.
I would say "He monopolised the conversation"
or "Insisted on taking centre stage the whole time"
I have also heard family members say "He was holding court" - which I think is a commonly used sarcastic reference to the way a Judge commands the attention of everyone in court .
Monologue is a good general descriptor:
1.1 A long, tedious speech by one person during a conversation:
Depending on the content of the domination, lecture might work better
2 A long serious speech, especially one given as a scolding or
reprimand:
Harangue would fit if the speaker exhibited an aggressive or critical demeanor:
The idiom hold forth implies talking for a long time about a subject that interests the speaker but not necessarily the audience.
Hold forth : to talk at great length; harangue
When we left, he was still holding forth on World War II.
I first came across this phrase in Stephen King's novel The Tommyknockers , where it's used to describe a character drunkenly ranting about nuclear power long after everyone else at the party wished he'd stop.
Palaver has a broad range of connotations, but it's basically a long talk:
[MASS NOUN] 1 Prolonged and tedious fuss or discussion:
The Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary reveals the broad usage in various contexts:
n.
1. profuse and idle talk; chatter.
2. persuasive talk; flattery; cajolery.
3. a conference or discussion, orig. one between European traders, explorers, etc., and people indigenous to a region, esp. in Africa.
v.i.
4. to talk profusely and idly.
5. to confer.
The OP seems to be looking toward the second noun definition with connotations from verbal definition 6, and a hint of verbal definition 4. If there is a pretense of conversation, palaver is particularly useful.
Gab tends toward idle chatter but might work:
The act of completely dominating a conversation, whether amongst a crowd or an intimate conversation. the "Bulldozer" can be anyone, inebriated or not, so long as everyone else that has something can't, simply because the said person just talks louder to drown them out.
For me, "monopolize" comes to mind immediately and seems to the point and most appropriate without going overboard or being bullish.
There are those who seem naturally adept at monopolizing conversations by raising their voice just as someone begins to speak, interact or add information.
Domineering. "I have bookclub tonight and really hope that domineering woman is not there."
Domineering was the first that came to mind, and is synonymous with overbearing . Domineering seems to equate best with ".. dominates the .."
to speak or express opinions in a pompous or dogmatic way
Loquacious
Also from Merriam-Webster ,
to speak or write verbosely and windily
To address the detail you added in your edit, an insincere prompt for response is often called a rhetorical question . This is a question designed not to solicit information that might change the course of the conversation, but to guide the listener to ask themselves the question and formulate an answer internally. The asker might then proceed to specify the answer they believe to be best and discuss it as part of the point they're trying to reach. For this to work, the rhetorical question tends to be simple and common-sensical, ideally requiring at most trivial reasoning to answer.
The word "screed" is defined as a "long, monotonous harangue" and is similar to some of the suggestions made here.
"We tired of listening to his screed."
To "pontificate" also carries the connotation of blabbing on and on while monopolizing the conversation.
