How can you use disfluencies and still sound as a good speaker?

چکیده
This paper explores the results of a previous experiment concerning listeners’ ratings of different types of (dis)fluencies and extends the analysis of such phenomena to a corpus of university lectures. Results suggest that, although not all disfluency types are equally tolerated by listeners, such differences may be overridden by an adequate control of tonal scaling and pause length, at least.

متن کاملI Forget What That's Called! Children's Online Processing of Disfluencies Depends on Speaker Knowledge.
Speech disfluencies can convey information to listeners: Adults and children predict that filled pauses (e.g., uhh) will be followed by referents that are difficult to describe or are new to the discourse. In adults, this is driven partly by an understanding that disfluencies reflect processing difficulties. This experiment examined whether 3½-year-olds' use of disfluencies similarly involves i...
متن کاملDisfluency as metacommunication
Research on spoken language comprehension has challenged the traditional view that disfluencies are mere performance errors that disrupt comprehension.

What is less well-understood is the exact nature of this benefit. How do listeners derive m...
