Filled pauses as markers of discourse structure
This study aims to test quantitatively whether lled pauses (FPs) may highlight discourse structure. More speci cally, it is rst investigated whether FPs are more typical in the vicinity of major discourse boundaries. Secondly, the FPs are analyzed acoustically, to check whether those occurring at major discourse boundaries are segmentally and prosodically di erent from those at shallower breaks...
متن کاملPauses as Recoding Points in Letter Series
It was hypothesized that temporal pauses in letter series are the major places at which receding occurs, either in terms of a pronunciation code (e.g., VAF) or a meaningful code (e.g., IBM). If pauses determine the units on which receding is attempted, then there will be an optimal and several nonoptimal ways to locate pauses in a given series of codable trigrams. Three immediate recall experim...

‘‘Speech is silver, but silence is golden’’ is a proverb already known to Romans and now spread through many cultures. This piece of wisdom may just apply to some interesting forms of neural communication as well, in that important information is conveyed by pauses in spiking of neurons. This mechanism works particularly well for tonically active inhibitory neurons, where a pause of spiking car...

To what extent does syntactic structure predict the locations and durations of unfilled, intrasentential pauses in conversational speech? Here we attempt to answer that question by using the word-aligned and syntactically annotated Switchboard corpus [3]. Automated binary clas...
