This article presents findings from a study of overlaps in informal conversations between friends. The interaction of prosody and syntax in overlaps is analysed. The findings suggest that although interactants orient themselves to syntactically complete sentences, the relationship between syntax and prosody is rather negligible. Prosody used in overlaps is influenced mostly by the sequential organization of conversation. In many cases, overlaps are not perceived as problematic and as such do not need resolving. Specific prosodic features are applied especially when (i) interactants aim to take over a turn or (ii) when they believe they have the right to speak.

Recent years have witnessed organized efforts to utilize social approaches to multilingualism in research on families, and thus to further delimit the multilingual family as a particular field of inquiry. This overview focuses on two recent such endeavors, a special issue of the journal Language Policy entitled “Family Language Policy” (Curdt-Christiansen 2013) and a special issue of the journal Multilingua entitled “Multilingual Communication in Binational Families: Negotiating Languages, Identities and Everyday Tasks” (Ogiermann 2013). In this text, we review the contributions to these issues in detail and explore how each issue contributes to the conception and shaping of the multilingual family as the object of analysis. We consider the paradigms employed and characterize how the two journal issues complement one another. We suggest that, in addition to the family as a research focus and the presence of multiple languages, they are connected by the presence of metalinguistic behavior. The idea emerges, then, that what is understood through the lenses of policy and interaction might be more coherently interpreted through the lens of language management in the sense of Jernudd & Neustupný (1987).
