Guidelines for self-breaks. The numerous variations in verbal fluency are characteristic of oral statements in conversation and can involve morpho-syntactic disruptions. The guidelines to detect these phenomena focus on breaks in verbal flow, whether or not they give rise to a disfluent sequence. Are noted all the self-breaks along with their morpho-syntactic effects, in eight CID (Corpus of Interactional Data) dilogs. The syntagmatic process, when interrupted, was not always disrupted from a syntactic point of view: half of these ruptures are merely suspensive, the others are disfluent.
