(Dis)fluencies in children’s speech


Limits and perspectives

This work aimed to investigate the adequateness of three measures of syntactic complexity in predicting disfluency amount in young children during the early stages of language development. While our results highlight differences between these measures, they neglect other linguistic complexities, such as morphological or phonetic complexity. Yet, adding the phonetic complexity would bring valuable information on the “readiness” of the speech motor system and its link with the number of disfluencies, since we can suppose that purely motor reasons can also be at the origin of speech “accidents.”

Disfluencies (filled pauses, filler words, repetitions, part-word repetitions, prolongations, broken words, and revisions) are natural phenomena of everyday speech. They are insights on the speech planning processes indicating speech planning difficulties or self-monitoring, and play an important role in turn-taking during conversations. The occurrences of disfluencies in speech are affected by several factors. One of these is the speaker’s age. This volume is a collection of nine articles on the topic of speech planning and speech production of children from the aspects of fluency, disfluency, speech tempo, and pausing. The volume is recommended to linguists, experts of phonetics and psycholinguistics, speech and language therapists, university students, child language specialists, and everybody who is interested in child language
