This work follows other studies on interruption that we have been developping since 1995 in a group engaged in the interactive textual organization within the Grammatical Project of the Spoken Portuguese. Our aim is to uncover the status of interruption: is it a mecanism of construction of the spoken text or only of a token of the occurrence of some of these mecanisms (correction, paraphrase, repetition, parentheses)? To answer this question, we analysed six inquiries of different nature (formal elocutions - Efs; interviews - DIDs - and dialogues between two informants - D2s) extracted from the NURC/SP, NURC/RJ and NURC/Recife Project. As to the theoretical point of view, we turned our attention to assumptions which supported the arguments put forward by the researchers belonging to the above mentioned group, whose articles were published in Grammatical Project of Spoken Portuguese (IV, V, VI)
