“…The temporal and segmental characteristics of the adolescents' narratives match the parameters of the Russian spontaneous speech defined in Bondarko, Volskaya, Tananaiko, and Vasilieva (2003) or in Potapov and Potapova (2017). The results of this analysis are consistent with other studies of monologues (Podlesskaya, 2015) and hesitations (Lickley, 2015) in general. However, the frequency of self-corrections and hesitation pauses in adolescence differs from adults.…”

“…Adolescents acquire metalinguistic strategies to facilitate performing challenging communication tasks (Berman, 2007). Thanks to the strategies, self-corrections in the adolescents' narratives appear rarely relative to the younger children and even more rarely than in adults' speech, which becomes obvious through the comparison of our data with Rose (2013) and Podlesskaya (2015). Nevertheless, the number of hesitations differs within the adolescents' narratives under the influence of the content complexity.…”

The paper presents analysis of the hesitations in adolescents’ narratives. The speech disfluencies in the adolescents differ from those of the adults by frequency of self-corrections and pauses of hesitation. The adolescents rarely turn to repair their narratives but often interrupt the speech flow by pauses while telling a story stimulated by a wordless book. The lack of self-corrections reflects the specific problems with self-control and self-regulation due to immaturity of the executive function. Narrating about a complex multi-propositional event, the adolescents often experienced hesitation that provoked more self-repairs and hesitation pauses compared to the telling the story about a simple event. The description of the relatively simple content was more complicated syntactically than that of the multi-propositional event. Meanwhile, the content complexity significantly influences frequency of the silent hesitation pauses.

“…One corpus-based study from Russian investigated the Russian self-repairs in monologues, dividing Russian self-repair into On-line isomorphic repair, Offline isomorphic repair and repairs from other linguistic levels such as grammar and phonology [11]. Also, there was study specifically researched the self-repair from a morphological aspect, revealing that within-word selfrepair exist in any mono-morphemic languages, and the amount of it is quite large than assumed from earlier studies [12].…”

The study of self-repairs in oral performance is not systematic or integrated, in which many issues are still worth being investigated. This paper aims to study the types of self-repairs in Chinese high-proficiency English learners' oral production in Test for English Majors Band Four (TEM-4). In this corpus-based study, qualitative and quantitative methods are both applied for analyzing randomly selected text recordings in SECCL (Spoken English Corpus of Chinese Learners). It is discovered that there is noticeable high amount of self-repairs occurred, the repetition self-repair and replacement self-repair have outnumbered the restructure self-repair, reflecting some of the Chinese students' drawback on English oral performance: They tend to pay more attention on linguistic correct of the language but not the communicative ability. Based on this result, the study gives some advices from three perspectives: to learn to use self-repair marker, to cultivate the logical thinking ability, and to add conjunctions to provide more time for speakers to consider, which should inspire further educational researchers, teachers and students.

“…Numerous classifications have been brought to account on these and still other differences, including the scope and the localization of the repair, the type of the repaired feature (lexical, grammatical, constructional), etc. ; see, inter alia, [Schegloff 2013]; [Podlesskaya 2015]. In this study, for the sake of simplicity, we do not distinguish between different types of self-repairs and treat them all uniformly.…”

The paper addresses the overall distribution of speech disfluencies in Russian spoken monologic discourse: basing on corpus data, we investigate qualitatively and quantitatively how disfluencies of different types group (or do not group) with each other and how isolated disfluencies and their sequences are sandwiched with periods of fluent speech in the course of speech production. Self-repairs, filled and silent pauses, and instances of hesitation lengthening were annotated in a subcorpus of the “Russian Pears Chats and Stories” (RUPEX). A distribution-oriented typology of disfluencies was proposed that distinguishes between isolated disfluencies, disfluency clusters, and quasiclusters. We claim that disfluency tokens tend to cluster, as isolated occurrences are significantly less frequent in our data than it could have been expected basing on the relative frequency of tokens. This finding contradicts previous studies that treated disfluency clusters as a more marginal phenomenon, and emphasizes the importance of a distributional, rather than merely structural, approach to annotating disfluencies. Furthermore, individual types of disfluency tokens demonstrate significantly different distributional patterns. Compared to other types, self-repairs occur more often in isolation, while words with hesitation lengthening appear predominantly in clusters, and filled pauses most often group with silent pauses to form quasi-clusters.
