Estratégias de negociação em encerramentos de conversa telefônica cotidiana

Abstract

This study looks at the everyday telephone conversation closings, under the perspective of ethnomethodological Conversation Analysis. By the contributions of Schegloff & Sacks (1973), Button (1987) and Button (1990), among others theoretical-methodological conceptions, this work has the following aims: (1) to look into some linguistic forms that play the role of finish the everyday telephone conversation in Brazilian context and (2) to evidence the negotiation strategies used by the participants for closing or for continuing the call. The corpus is composed of data of talking occurring naturally, recorded in a family located at the Brazilian city of Juiz de Fora, and translates a bit how the parts, in Brazilian context, build the social relationship microsequentially in conversations like that. Thus, this study confirms the commonsense notion about finishing a conversation as a delicate issue for the participants, because they can use many negotiation strategies to closing or to continuing the conversation between the first “então tá” and the last “tchau”.
