Steve: Where are you going?
The conversation happened in a situation when Ronnie went back home after having a date with her boyfriend. She looked very happy. Her face blushed
and she smiled cheerfully. Then Jonah, who was playing a game at that time, looked at her and asked innocently
“
What just happened?
” Their father who
was working on his song at that time calmly answered “
Your sister just got kissed.
” Steve‟s answer made Ronnie shy. In panic, she immediately shouted
“
Dad
” Ronnie‟s word did not make Steve stopped to tell Jonah about her
kissing. Then he said “
Well, you did. Look at = her. Jonah, Look at her face
” However, before he could finish his utterance, Ronnie shouted again saying
“
No
” In this point, Ronnie made a recognitional overlap because she was feeling annoyed by what was being said by her father. She was shy with the fact
that her father kept talking about her kissing. Moreover, he talked about it in front of her little brother who was not appropriated enough to talk about adult
thing like kissing. Even though Ronnie tried to stop her father to talk about kissing, Steve kept talking about it by saying
“your sister. Hey let‟s write a song
= about being kissed
” Jonah who had shown his discomfort to this conversation topic from the first time finally got up from his chair and left to his room with
saying “=I‟m
going to be sick.
” While Ronnie who was very shy on what was
being said by her father shouted “=No, don‟t write a song about that”
Thus, it can be assumed that both Ronnie and
Jonah recognized when his father was going to finish his utterances. That is why they did not give any attention to it
because they were feeling annoyed by what was being said by their father. Then they decided to cut their father utterance near their TRP
, ignoring his father‟s
utterances completeness because they could not stand more to talk about the topic. Meanwhile, another recognitional overlap below occurred because the
next speaker wanted to show urgency. This conversation happened between Jonah and his sister, Ronnie.
Dialogue above was taken in a scene at fair when Ronnie was hanging out with her friend Blaze. Unfortunately, her father was looking for her. Ronnie
did not want her father to disturb her time with Blaze. However, her brother, Jonah, came to her to ask some money. If Ronnie did not give him some money,
he was going to tell their father where she was. So she was not able to play with her friend any longer. Then Ronnie decided to give Jonah the money he asked
and she hurriedly walked away to have fun with her friend. It can be seen from the last utterances that Jonah
‟s utterance; “
Nice doing business with you.
” was clearly cut by Ronnie‟s words “
Yeah, yeah
” Ronnie cut Jonah‟s utterance with her words at near end of his utterance. Thus, this irregularity is categorized as
recognitional o verlap because Ronnie cut Jonah‟s utterance at near their TRP.
Ronnie did it because she wanted to show her urgency to go hanging out with 4:29 Jonah:
Dad‟s looking for you. Ronnie:
Tell him you did n‟t see me, brat.
Jonah: Five bucks. And two for „brat‟
Ronnie: No way.

Ronnie: Shut up.
Jonah: I promise to make him take me on the Twister three
times so you can get away. Ronnie gives Jonah some money.
