(Dis)fluencies in children’s speech

Length of Chunks and IPUs, intelligibility and age

We then conducted statistical analyses to examine whether the impression-based measure SI scores and age can successfully predict the kind of lexical complexity defined by the mean Chunk and IPU lengths in words across subject groups. Linear mixed effects (LME) models with Age and SI as fixed effects and Group as a random effect were constructed for Chunks and IPUs separately, ~ 1 + SI + Age + (1|Group). Table 3 shows that SI is not useful for predicting the mean lengths of Chunks or IPUs. Age only contributes to the prediction of the mean length of IPUs, but not to that of Chunks. To specify intergroup differences, we conducted one-way ANOVA on the mean Chunk and IPU lengths. No significant difference was found.

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
