This text deals with the formal configuration of parenthetical insertions and the role that they play in the construction of spoken language. This presentation begins with the characterization of the kinds of rupture of the topic sequence (parenthetical insertions and digressions) and, in the sequence, the insertions are classified according to these variables: formal configuration; formal marks of the sentence in which parenthetical segments are inserted; discourse element to which the insertions refer.
