Description: Overlap is the simultaneous production of talk by two or more interlocutors. While occurrences of overlap are typically conceived of as violations of the one-at-a-time principle (Sacks, et al. 1974), there are contexts in which choral speaking is the norm, as in the case of collective greetings, leave-takings, or assessments in multi-party interaction (Schegloff 2000). In CA/IL transcription, overlap is notated with square brackets (Jefferson 2004a; Selting, et al. 2009).
