Introduction
|
|
|
The Filled Pause Research Center is a web-based
virtual study hall designed both to support and report progress on my research into the
type of hesitation phenomena in human speech known as 'filled pauses'. It is my goal to
keep this site up-to-date with information I uncover as well as include whatever
information, links, and anecdotes you, the reader, may contribute. If you have ever given
a second thought as to why human speech is filled with uhs and ums, then
there is definitely something in this site for you. |
