(Dis)fluencies in children’s speech

Discussion and conclusion

This study is about the time relations of nursery school and school children’s speech. Filled pauses, silent pauses and speech sections were distinguished from the interviewer’s speech in thirty children’s voice recordings. In the pausing, number and duration of pauses, their frequency in syllable/second, and children’s speech tempo were analyzed. It was examined whether there were any demonstrable significant differences with the increase of age in the analyzed factors, and whether different speech types (spontaneous speech, retelling a story) had any impact on the listed aspects.

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
