| Abstract: | This paper deals with overlaps in spoken Maltese. Overlaps are studied in samples from two different corpora, one consisting of Map Task dialogues, and the other of free face-to-face conversations. The results show that the number and function of the overlaps vary with the presence or absence of pre-defined roles, the nature of the dialogue and the subjects’ familiarity with the situation. Overlaps are used to achieve optimal information exchange in the Map Task dialogues, and are a sign of ease and familiarity in the free conversations |
