(Dis)fluencies in children’s speech

Discussion and conclusion

The goal of this research was to analyze the pattern of interruptions and their distribution in secondary school students’ spontaneous speech samples and in their topic-based narratives produced during school lessons. Our first hypothesis was that the two communication situations show different patterns of interruptions because of the different planning processes in the two text types. It was confirmed by the frequency of interruptions, which was given in number per 100 syllables. In topic-based narratives produced during the lessons, the parameter was much higher than in spontaneous speech samples, and the statistical analysis showed significant differences between the situations.

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
