“…The development of pause analysis was, of course, largely dependent on the availability of adequate recording and transcription equipment (see O'Connell and Kowal, 1983), although pauses have also been assessed perceptually by some researchers (e.g., Maclay and Osgood, 1959). The use of instrumental pause analysis, while solving some methodological problems, has also posed new problems.…”

The historical provenance of a minimum cutoff point (of about 0.25 sec) for pauses in temporal analyses of speech production is associated with Goldman-Eisler's usage. Her rationale was the predominance of articulatory pauses at lengths shorter than 0.25 sec. Both phonotactic facts and empirical analysis of several corpora of readings disconfirm this predominance with respect to pauses 0.13-0.25 sec in length. The vast majority of these pauses are found to be psychological; they are determined by syntax, punctuation, rhetorical and expressive emphasis, poetic format, and stylistic pecularities. * The research on political speeches reported in the following has been supported by a Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft Habilitationsstipendium granted to Sabine Kowal.

“…Looking forward, we see expanded use of CARI in field surveys for monitoring survey quality and as an integral part of data collection. Advances in digital signal processing may allow automation of some monitoring activities such as detecting files with just one voice, applying speech analytics or leveraging "pausology" (O'Connell and Kowal 1983). CARI can be used to collect open-ended responses (Mitchell et al 2008).…”

The Evolution of Audio Recording in Field Surveys By taking advantage of new technology, survey managers can boost the effectiveness, efficiency and quality of data collection. One such technology is computer audio-recorded interviewing (CARI), a way to ensure the quality of data through unobtrusive digital recording. This article reviews the evolution of CARI technology, with an emphasis on its feasibility for routine use with field surveys.

“…Pauses, then, are 'moments of scribal inactivity' (Matsuhashi, 1981), or 'silences in the speech of person' (O'Connell & Kowal, 1983). Such definitions, however, do not tell us much about how pauses are related to ongoing cognitive processes in (text) production.…”

Kluwer Academic Publishers continues to publish the international book series Studies in Writing, founded by Amsterdam University Press. The intended readers are all those interested in the foundations of writing and learning and teaching processes in written composition. The series aims at multiple perspectives of writing, education and texts. Therefore authors and readers come from various fields of research, from curriculum development and from teacher training. Fields of research covered are cognitive, sociocognitive and developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, text linguistics, curriculum development, instructional science. The series aim to cover theoretical issues, supported by empirical research, quantitative as well as qualitative, representing a wide range of nationalities. The series provides a forum with research from established researchers, with contributions of young researchers. V VII 9 31 61 89 105 119 l31 157 161 PREFACE With some pride I hereby introduce the 10 111 volume in the Studies of Writing book series. This volume aims to be a tool-book for writing research. In my opinion, the editors and authors of this volume succeeded in this endeavor. Four guiding questions are answered in all chapters on online-techniques.How to ... The key to such a book is providing insight in the decisions researchers make when developing 'tools and techniques'; such information is not found in journal articles and in the best case hidden in technical reports. This book provides readers with detailed information about the ins and outs of various online techniques.When to ... Another contribution of this tool-book is to provide insight into when the 'tool' can be used, in other words, to relate the tool or technique to the theoretical claims about the writing process or cognitive processes underlying writing processes. Theory, methodology, tools and techniques, handling data and interpretation form a coherent unit.When not to ... There is no cow without a spot' (Dutch: er is geen koe zonder vlekje) is the literal translation of a Dutch expression. Techniques/tools have their limitations, and their problems: in applying them, and/or handling or interpreting the data they produce. In a book like this, researchers took the opportunity to provide readers with a look behind the curtains, in the process of research. Scientific, critical reflection is one of the strong features of this book.What to know ... It is not sufficient to only know how the technique works. It is not sufficient to merely know when to apply the technique. Research questions and techniques originate from 'schools of thought', from specific scientific perspectives. Where necessary, this tool-book provides necessary background information and references to underlying theories.This 10 111 volume shows how rapidly the tools for studying writing processes were improved. In the first volume of the series, titled Theories, Models & Methodology (1996), some first accounts on methodology were presented. And now, after five years, a complete book, on ...
