言语自我监控中的填充暂停研究

A Study of Filled Pauses in Speech Self-Mongulation

填充暂停,作为一种间断语流现象,是自然言语的有机组成部分。笔者结合汉语口语的真实语料,探究汉语口语中填充暂停现象的特点。研究发现:填充暂停的分布特征受认知任务复杂性影响;作为说话人的一种认知策略,填充暂停具有指示修正,重新计划言语和保留话轮的认知功用,体现了说话人运用元认知进行言语自我监控的能力。上述发现对揭示言语生成机制的真实面目具有启示意义。

Filled pauses,as one of speech disfluencies,are an organic part of natural speech.In this paper,the characteristics of Chinese filled pauses are identified,based on an analysis of a corpus taken from the Chinese spoken language.The results show that the distribution of the filled pauses is influenced by the complexity of cognitive tasks.As a kind of cognitive strategies,filled pauses perform the cognitive functions of indicating self-repair,re-planning speech and keeping the turn,which reflects the ability of the speaker to employ the meta-cognition to self-monitor his speech.The findings have implications for revealing the true nature of the mechanism of speech production.
