(Dis)fluencies in children’s speech

Methodology

Fourty-two speakers were randomly selected from two large databases (GABI and BEA, see Bóna et al., 2014; Gósy, 2012), with the exception of age and gender. 28 children were evenly divided by age and gender into two groups: 7- and 10-year-olds. The third group consisted of 14 young adults (aged between 20 and 26 years, with a mean age of 23 years). All speakers were monolingual native speakers of Hungarian who were exposed to a second (and third) language training during their education. None of the children started speaking later than at 1;6 years, and, according to the parents’ reports, they all had a typical language acquisition process. No hearing or speaking disability was reported among the child and adult participants. All participants came from working-class or middle-class backgrounds, and lived in a large city of Hungary.

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
