In spoken language, syntactic relations may be built by different speakers or by the same speaker but after an interruption by the interlocutor.

Our proposal include co-constructions, backchannels and answers to WH-questions.
If you are interested in the topic, please have a look to https://grew.fr/spoken-language-guidelines/workgroups/spoken-data/syntax.html and let us know what you think.
