Organização da fala-em-interação: o dispositivo para o gerenciamento de fala sobreposta na conversa cotidiana em dados de português brasileiro.

Overlapping talk is a common occurrence in talk-in-interaction, even if at times participants may find it problematic while carrying out their actions, and will thus work to manage and resolve it. Results are reported here of an investigation of overlapping talk and the overlap management/resolution device component of turn-taking for ordinary conversation in Brazilian Portuguese. With the aim of verifying the adequacy of Schegloff's (2000a) description of such phenomena, which was based on conversation among speakers of American English, two encounters among three participants having conversations in Brazilian Portuguese were recorded, transcribed and analyzed following conversation analytic methods. We conclude that Schegloff's (2000a) description of overlapping talk and the overlap management/resolution device applies to our Brazilian Portuguese conversation data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
