Abstract

Hungarian native speakers often consider izé as a stigmatized, functionless filler word (Grétsy & Kovalovszky, 1980); however, it plays an important role in spontaneous conversations and speech planning processes. Previous literature has revealed that izé has two types, namely, word-substituting and time-gaining izés. While the former can address word-retrieval problems and vocabulary shortages, the latter can help solve issues in speech planning (Fabulya, 2007; Gyarmathy, 2012; Gyarmathy & Neuberger, 2013; Gyarmathy, 2015; Kondacs, 2017; Marcsenkoné Kondacs, 2023). The study investigates the phenomenon from a functional discourse analytic and conversation analytic perspective, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. It examines the structural position of izé in Hungarian conversations. The corpus under study comprises audio recordings of Hungarian spontaneous, naturally occurring, and friendly conversations, collected and analyzed by the author. The analysis differentiates between five structural categories and the functions of word-substituting and timegaining izés in these positions. It seeks to answer the question of whether there are additional functions beyond those identified so far. It examines whether izé can be used in a quotative function in the Hungarian corpus, similar to the be + like formula in English. The analysis shows that izé can have a discourse-organizing, discoursemarking function, and it can influence the turn-taking system.
