metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article addresses the pragmatic and sociolinguistic constraints of interrupting in Roman
  comedy. It starts with a redefinition of the phenomenon informed by the methods of Conversation
  Analysis (CA): apart from syntactically incomplete utterances (as a result of interruptions
  by others), the analysis also includes the cases of interruptions reported by the characters.
  Furthermore, a distinction is made between intrusive (disaligning) interventions and
  other forms of competitive turn encroachments. The term ‘interruptions’, however, has been
  reserved only for the former, antagonistic type which serves to express disagreement and disinterest
  or to usurp the speaking turn. Using the revised criteria, the article proceeds to comment
  on quantitative data extracted from all the extant plays by Plautus and Terence. Accordingly,
  interruptions are viewed in relation to gender, age and status of the speakers, whereas
  some more detailed analysis concerns male and female citizens, prostitutes and servants. After
  comparing every character’s share of talk with their proportional use of turn incursions (both
  collaborative and disruptive), it is argued that the violation of the turn-exchange system is
  significantly associated with some interlocutors and less so with others. The last section presents
  interrupting as a pragmatic means of exerting power in interaction while discussing the
  phenomenon also from a (sociolinguistic) cross-gender perspective.
