(Dis)fluencies in children’s speech

Method, material

Thirty narratives were selected for the study from GABI (Children Speech and Information Database, cf. Bóna et al. 2014): from 4-year-old, 6-year-old and 8-year-old children (10 recordings from each age group, 5 girls and 5 boys). The 4-year-old children and the 6-year-old children are from kindergartens in Budapest, with similar social backgrounds. The 8-year-old children are from 2nd class of school, all of them live in Budapest as well. All subjects selected for the present study had unimpaired hearing, and they had no known mental problem or speech error (except from the age-specific features of pronunciation). The children were asked to talk about their family, their hobbies and their favorite toys. The total speech time of the children was 68 minutes, roughly 20 minutes in each age group.

Nyelvészet

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
