Voix qui se chevauchent : suivre les tours de parole
P44.b2-listening.16 · Audience: guest, language-pro, it-ml
Unité CO-18 · campagne 13 · le débat déborde, votre grille tient bon.
The hardest CO documents are debates where speakers overlap, interrupt and finish each other's sentences — wrongly. The skill is not hearing every word; it is keeping the attribution ledger straight: who claimed what, who corrected whom, and what survived the collision.
Four repair patterns to track:
- Repair after interruption. …laissez-moi terminer : mille emplois directs, hors sous-traitance. The speaker who resumes usually sharpens the claim. The post-interruption version is the one that counts for comprehension questions.
- Self-clarification. J'y étais, et je me suis abstenu, ce qui n'est pas la même chose. When a speaker concedes half of an accusation (being present) but corrects the other half (voting for), the distractors will offer the uncorrected blend.
- The moderator's traffic control. Trente secondes pour conclure, ensuite madame Aït répond, et personne ne coupe. Moderator turns carry no opinion — but they announce the order of what follows, which is free structure for your notes.
- The hijacked sentence. — Notre région est la première… — …la première en chômage, oui ! An opponent completes the sentence with their own ending; the original speaker then restores it (la première en création d'entreprises). Attribute each ending to its actual author.
Grid advice: one line per speaker, arrows for corrections. The items below are four collisions; every question is an attribution question.
