(Dis)fluencies in children’s speech

Methodology and data processing

We converted the CKIP POS tags (Tseng 2013, p.7) to the Universal Dependencies (UD) word categories proposed by Petrov et al. (2012). For more information about UD, please refer to the official website https://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/. Table 2 is the mapping table we constructed for converting the CKIP POS tags to the UD word categories for Mandarin Chinese. Furthermore, it is likely that results of word use analysis for conversational speech vary depending on whether the observation units are based on the contents or on the prosodic arrangement, e.g., predicate-based discourse units or intonation-based prosodic units. In the present study, we analyzed spoken words in terms of a text-based unit “Chunk” as well as a speech-based unit “IPU”. Chunks are grouped according to POS co-occurrence properties for Chinese (Prévot et al. 2015). IPUs are defined as the sequences of words pronounced within two adjacent pauses. Both units are automatically derived with no human intervention.

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
