Factors that determine the form and position of disfluencies in spontaneous utterances

چکیده
This presentation reviews work on types of disfluency in the spontaneous speech of fluent speakers and speakers who stutter. Examination is made of factors that determine where disfluencies are located. It is concluded that the phonological, or prosodic, word provides a good basis for explaining the distribution of different types of disfluency in spontaneous speech.

A Comparison between Three Methods of Language Sampling: Freeplay, Narrative Speech and Conversation
Objectives: The spontaneous language sample analysis is an important part of the language assessment protocol. Language samples give us useful information about how children use language in the natural situations of daily life. The purpose of this study was to compare Conversation, Freeplay, and narrative speech in aspects of Mean Length of Utterance (MLU), Type-token ratio (TTR), and the numbe...
متن کاملOn not remembering disfluencies
Disfluencies repetitions and reformulations midsentence in normal spontaneous speech are problematic for both psychological and computational models of speech understanding. Much effort is being applied to finding ways of adapting computational systems to detect and delete disfluencies. The input to such systems is usually an accurate transcription. We present results of an experiment in which ...
متن کاملAutomatically enriching spoken corpora with syntactic information for linguistic studies
Syntactic parsing of speech transcriptions faces the problem of the presence of disfluencies that break the syntactic structure of the utterances. We propose in this paper two solutions to this problem. The first one relies on a disfluencies predictor that detects disfluencies and removes them prior to parsing. The second one integrates the disfluencies in the syntactic structure of the utteran...
متن کاملUm, one large pizza. A preliminary study of disfluency modelling for improving ASR
A corpus of spontaneous telephone transactions between call centre operators of a pizza company and its customers is examined for disfluencies (fillers and speech repairs) with the aim of improving automatic speech recognition. From this, a subset of the customer orders is selected as a test set. An architecture is presented which allows filled pauses and repairs to be detected and corrected. A...
متن کاملCoping with disfluencies in spontaneous speech recognition
Nowadays, automatic speech recognizers have become quite good in recognizing well prepared fluent speech (e.g. news readings). However, the recognition of spontaneous speech is still problematic. Some important reasons for this are that spontaneous speech is usually less articulated and contains a lot of disfluencies. In this paper, a new methodology for coping with disfluencies is presented an...
