(Dis)fluencies in children’s speech

Research questions

We are concerned with two types of quantitative measures. First, we will experiment on two production units, Chunks and IPUs, and examine whether they can be used to differentiate the three subject groups of children in terms of lexical complexity. Second, acoustic-phonetic features extracted from acoustic signals of spoken words that characterize word-level linguistic properties will be tested whether differences among the three groups of children can be empirically identified.

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
