Description: Transitional overlap (also transitional overlap onset, or simply transitional onset) refers to the initiation and production of talk by a next speaker near a possible transition-relevance place (TRP) while a current speaker extends their turn. Transitional onset occurs when a second speaker acts upon syntactic completeness, and thus possible turn completeness, of a first speaker’s utterance (Jefferson, 1984).
