| Abstract |
| Acoustic properties of disfluent repetitions are examined to
investigate two proposed functions of repeating. Repeating may serve as a filler while
hesitating; alternatively, repeating may function to bridge a gap when speech resumes
after a break. Classification of tokens based on pause patterns reveals that: (1) most
cases fit the bridging function; and (2) duration and F0 properties support the hypothesis
of two distinct types, as well as the proposed associated functions. |
