Abstract

We deal with the characterization of the syntax of orality, framed in the concept of intersubjectivity. Syntax organization is the result of several choices made by speakers based on two pragmatic criteria: own expressiveness and intelligibility. Coconstruction, ellipsis and repetition ensure conversational flow, as it is shown by several cases of the corpus.
