S : at fair T:
Ronnie‟s avoidance to
her father Ir :
recognitional overlap
In the dialogue, Ronnie‟s cuts
Jonah‟s utterance at the near end of his
utterance. Thus, it is categorized as
recognitional overlap. Ronnie
does this because she wants to show
her urgency to hang out with her friend
as soon as possible without any disturb
from her brother. Moreover, Ronnie
has already
monitored Jonah‟s utterance, so when
it reaches near their TRP she hurriedly
enters the floor. She then hurriedly runs
with Blaze.
