| Resumo: | Recent studies on talk-in-interaction emphasize the intercorporeal holistic nature of human action. Given that our everyday communication had changed profoundly during the covid-19 pandemic, considering the interactional constraints related to our limited mobility, social distancing, and the use of face masks, we pose the following question in this article: What happens when the use of face masks blocks important parts of interactional fluency and how do interactants deal with it? Through collection, transcription, and analysis of data from videos from the first months after the outbreak, the following results were revealed: (a) raising of the eyebrow as a marker of focal accent; (b) enlargement of gestural space and frequent use of beat gestures, when social distancing and mask-wearing are at play; (c) at a micro level, compensation for the loss of facial expression due to mask-wearing, through intonational cues. |
