“…By contrast, our results show that svPPA produced significantly fewer filled pauses per word than both controls and nfvPPA patients and the proportion of time of speech devoted to filled pauses was also lower. Such inconsistencies may be due to the elicitation task used (Fraser et al 2014), since, relative to describing a picture, telling the Cinderella story requires more memory resources, which can induce more filled pauses in svPPA patients, and to potential differences across languages and cultures (Wilson et al 2010), as pointed out by several authors (Crible et al 2017;Endrass et al 2008;Rose and Watanabe 2019).…”

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.

“…It shows that fillers are sounds or phrases that could appear anywhere in the sentences that disrupt speech flow (Navratilova, 2015). As categorized by Rose (2008),, this filler was as unlexicalized fillers, containing empty lexical. Examples of this type are 'ee, erm,' err,' ehm,' and 'eh.…”

As gender constructs could be disseminated through language, English textbooks could be a fertile arena to maintain or deconstruct traditional gender constructs. Since seventh grade students are in their stage to assert their sexual identity, their exposure to English textbook could affect their perception of gendered positions in the society. The present study purposefully aimed to analyzed the language used in English textbook for Grade 7, because the book was published by the Indonesian Ministry of National Education and recommended to be used nationally in public schools in Indonesia. Designed as a descriptive qualitative study, the dialogues and monologues in the textbook were examined to reveal the stereotyped concepts of gender and the deconstruction of the stereotyped concepts of gender. The data were observed under categories on deficit, dominance, and difference approach by Lakoff, supported by critical perspective of language and gender from Coates. The result of the study revealed that the textbook represents gendered language stereotypes in the use of lexical hedges and fillers, empty adjectives, intensifier along with male domination in the conversation. ‘Male firstness’ pattern of mentioning names, choice of topics, and focus of the conversation. However, the book has also included efforts to deconstruct the stereotypes through the deconstruction of conflict versus compromise and tag question usage. The results implies that future textbooks should include more deconstructions of gender stereotypes through language use, while teachers should use the present book with more critical approach to raise awareness about gender equity, especially through language use.

For the native speaker, the pause is an essential part of oral communication and has several functions such as indicating the turns between interlocutors, specifying the meaning in an ambiguous expression or marking the phonic or syntactical boundaries. However, inforeigner´s spontaneous discourse the pause is, otherwise, a sign of non-fluency which usually indicates cognitive problems. Based on Levelt’s "Speaking" Model, the present article aims to find out the cognitive problems of the Spanish-speaking students of intermediate and advanced level of Chinese in spontaneous discourse through analyzing the characteristics manifested in the production of pauses. The results show that advanced students have fewer breaks than mid-level students; the total duration of breaks is shorter; the average length of speech is longer and the average of speed is longer. But there is still distance to reach the natives in the mentioned parameters. In addition, those results of the distribution of the breaks reveal that the middle level students pay much attention to the formulation and articulation of short sentences while the advanced ones face problems in the organization of long sentences and therefore they must also pay attention to the self-monitoring.
