Based on theories that study the text from an interactive textual point of view, this article deals with the presence of digressive fragments in storytelling activities. Based on the typology adopted by Andrade (1995), charts were designed with the items that apply to the current research and relate to their frequency, which have been further analized qualitatively. The result of the analysis confirms the initial hypothesis: that digressions are fundamental as linguistic procedures for storytelling activities.
