“…Most studies confirm that fluency in L2 changes with proficiency (Riazantseva 2001;Riggenbach 1991;Tavakoli 2010). However, certain aspects of L2 fluency follow patterns also observed in the L1 (De Jong 2016;De Jong et al 2015;Derwing et al 2009;Kosmala and Morgenstern 2017;Rose 2013;Zuniga and Simard 2019). For example, it is the position of the pause, mid clause or at boundaries, rather than its frequency or length that can be best correlated with the development of fluency in L2 speakers (Tavakoli 2010).…”

Cut-offs and co-occurring gestures: Similarities between speakers’ first and second languages

This paper explores cut-offs in the oral narrations of Spanish native speakers in their mother tongue (L1), and in their language-under-study, English (L2). Fluency in the L2 varies with proficiency, and so cut-offs offer a possible means of evaluating this. However, there are certain aspects of fluency which might be common to the L1 and the L2, suggesting that the L1 and L2 share cognitive factors that lead to similar disfluency patterns. To determine if cut-offs are reliable markers of L2 fluency, independent of those occurring in the L1, we assessed the cut-off patterns in the L1 and L2 narrations of this group of speakers, following a multimodal approach. We observed similarities in both languages, potentially indicating that speakers use comparable cut-off-gesture patterns in the L1 and L2. We conclude that using speakers’ cut-offs in an L2 to gauge proficiency is meaningful only if the L1 cut-off behaviour is known.

“…Fluency is a key element in evaluating second language proficiency (Tavakoli 2010) and yet aspects of L2 fluency can be predicted by L1 disfluency patterns (De Jong et al 2015;Derwing et al 2009;Fillmore 1979;Rose 2013;Schmidt 1992;Zuniga and Simard 2019). Fluency is defined in a broad sense as…”

“…"Hesitation phenomena is the various patterns of hesitating in speech" (Rose, 2013). In English community, speech is performed in a form of conversation practices that have been embedded in every single activity of ECC's agenda.…”

“…Carroll (2007) defines that hesitations are a silent moment that emerges between the units of language in uttering sentences. Some previous studies show that hesitation phenomena give the influence to speech production and performance of LI and L2 learners (Rose, 2013;Reitbrecht & Hirschfeld, 2015;Kosmala & Morgenstern, 2017). Based on this, the present study attempts to explore the hesitation phenomena that naturally occur in EFL learners.…”

Hesitaton Phenomena in COnversational Interaction Among Speaking EFL Learners

Hesitation is the phenomenon when people have speech disfluency in structuring sentences. English Conversation Club is one of the domains where hesitation phenomena occur among EFL learners that practicing their conversation. This study examines the hesitation phenomena and why the members are being hesitated during the interaction. Rose’s theory of taxonomy of hesitation phenomena (2012) is adopted. The approach used is the qualitative approach. Besides, the writer is also the participant observation to collect the data by recording and taking notes. This study resulted that most of the hesitation phenomena are found in the conversation conducted by the learners. The reason for being hesitant is unable to express the language and poor communication skills. Those occur spontaneously and naturally due to the reason that the processing of language in the brain is not as easy as it is produced directly.

“…For instance, in the earliest attempt to classify hesitations, Maclay and Osgood (1959) identified four main types of hesitations, namely 'repeats', 'false starts' (which also include 'self-corrections'), 'filled pauses', and 'unfilled pauses' (which include silent pauses and lengthenings). By contrast, Rose (2013) came up with seven categories, not four: 'silent pauses', 'filled pauses', 'repairs' (which correspond to the abovementioned 'self-corrections'), 'repeats', 'false starts', 'lengthenings', and 'lexical fillers'. Other researchers have regarded lengthenings and filled pauses as a single category, arguing that they perform the same function in oral discourse (Rebollo 1997).…”

Hesitations in Primary Progressive Aphasia

Hesitations are often used by speakers in spontaneous speech not only to organise and prepare their speech but also to address any obstacles that may arise during delivery. Given the relationship between hesitation phenomena and motor and/or cognitive–linguistic control deficits, characterising the form of hesitation could be potentially useful in diagnosing specific speech and language disorders, such as primary progressive aphasia (PPA). This work aims to analyse the features of hesitations in patients with PPA compared to healthy speakers, with hesitations understood here as those related to speech planning, that is, silent or empty pauses, filled pauses, and lengthened syllables. Forty-three adults took part in this experiment, of whom thirty-two suffered from some form of PPA: thirteen from logopenic PPA (lvPPA), ten from nonfluent PPA (nfvPPA), and nine from semantic PPA (svPPA). The remaining 11 were healthy speakers who served as a control group. An analysis of audio data recorded when participants produced spontaneous speech for a picture description task showed that the frequency of silent pauses, especially those classified as long (>1000 ms) was particularly useful to distinguish PPA participants from healthy controls and also to differentiate among PPA types. This was also true, albeit to a lesser extent, of the frequency of filled pauses and lengthened syllables.
