Abstract

Filled pauses usually reveal speech planning or execution problems even though the speaker does not produce an overt error and may have a function of discourse marker as well. In Hungarian, the most frequent form of filled pauses is a schwalike vowel of various durations. The purpose of this study was to analyze the occurrence, duration and formant structure of Hungarian schwa-like filled pauses in 16 nine-year-old children, in 16 young adults and in 16 elderly speakers. Results confirmed age-dependent patterns of filled pauses. Speakers’ age is one of those factors that influence the occurrences and formant values of filled pauses.
