In this article we show provisional pragmaprosodical characteristics obtained from an initial investigation realized with didactic ends on so called “incomplete or truncated structures”, breaks of the construction in process (Suspended Act, the Truncated Act and the restart), which we have analyzed with the application Praat. In effect, the prosody seems to play a fundamental role in his production-interpretation, of there that we try to establish a typology departing from a few pragmatic criteria (strategies of attenuation, intensification, etc.) and prosodic (speed of speech in his production, consideration of the implied pause, etc.).
Keywords: Truncated Act; Suspended Act; restart; pragmatic strategies; prosodic analysis.
