초록
The purpose of the study is to investigate the role of disfluencies in listening perception. EFL participants were asked to respond to visual stimuli by choosing the correct picture after listening to auditory stimuli, which either included or excluded disfluencies, while their reaction time was measured. The result showed that the participants were faster to choose the correct picture when disfluent stimulus was given, which indicated that disfluencies contributed to listener’s attention. The following interview with the participants also suggested that disfluencies contributed to raising their attention as disfluent markers (uh) anticipated possible difficulty or upcoming unpredictability in the following talk. The result of the study implies that disfluencies should not be considered merely as speech errors but significant factors to promote comprehension and communication.
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to investigate the role of disfluencies in listening perception. EFL participants were asked to respond to visual stimuli by choosing the correct picture after listening to auditory stimuli, which either included or excluded disfluencies, while their reaction time was measured. The result showed that the participants were faster to choose the correct picture when disfluent stimulus was given, which indicated that disfluencies contributed to listener’s attention. The following interview with the participants also suggested that disfluencies contributed to raising their attention as disfluent markers (uh) anticipated possible difficulty or upcoming unpredictability in the following talk. The result of the study implies that disfluencies should not be considered merely as speech errors but significant factors to promote comprehension and communication.
