Abstract

In this paper we analyze the position of back channels in Japanese and Portuguese conversations，as well as the similarities and differences between them in the course of interaction. Although in both languages back channels occurred in similar positions in the structure of spoken discourse，from the interactional point of view they showed different realizations, suggesting some significant implications for each exchange system.
