Apparent syntactical divergences between spoken and written language, i.e. between spontanoeous and non-spontaneous discourse, are mainly due to numerous "incomplete" (interrupted, elliptical) stuctures typical of spoken discourse and related to various prosodic features and other circumstances which govern it. Such incomplete structures suggest that the production of spontaneous text/discourse is realized simultaneously at two levels, whuch interact in complex ways. These are the level of paradigmatic realtions and the level of syntagmatic relations. In non-spontaneous text/doscourse production, the former remains implicit, whereas in spontaneous text/discourseproduction the recipient may be able to access elements at both the syntagmatic and the paradimatic level.
