Abstract

This paper analyzes the phenomena of interruptions and overlaps in spoken conversation. These features are examined as natural components of human communication, influencing the flow and effectiveness of interaction. The study explores how social roles, status, cultural background, intonation, and conversational context contribute to the occurrence and interpretation of interruptions. It also highlights the differences in perception between casual and formal speech. Through practical examples, the paper emphasizes the functional roles of such speech patterns in maintaining or disrupting conversational dynamics. The findings are relevant for linguistics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, and communication studies.
