We present preliminary two-particle correlations for unidentified hadrons in p--p collisions at \sqrt {s}=200 GeV. On two-particle transverse rapidity space yt \otimes yt two distinct regions of correlated pairs are observed: a peaked structure at low yt (pt\leq 0.4 GeV/c) and a broad structure at higher yt, where the correlation is distributed as a 2D Gaussian centered at yt1=yt2\simeq 2.8 (pt1,pt2 \simeq 1.2 GeV/c). We select those regions separately, projecting correlations onto momentum-difference variables (\eta { \Delta },\phi { \Delta }), and observe structures interpretable in the context of string and parton fragmentations from soft and semi-hard components of p--p collisions.
