Exploring (dis)fluency patterns of identical repetitions in Romanian spontaneous speech
Résumé
This paper offers a preliminary analysis of identical repetitions in terms of frequency, distribution and temporal patterns in Romanian spontaneous speech. The study in carried out on a recently developed Romanian speech corpus suited for analyses at the interface between phonetics and laboratory phonology. Six hours of addressed monologues from six adult native speakers (3F/3M) were examined, resulting in 737 repetitions as immediate repeats, with 69% of the data pertaining to male speakers and 31% to female speakers. Our research questions revolve around the complex interplay between identical repetitions (IRs), silent pauses (#) and filler particles (FPs). The results show both cross-linguistic similarities and differences in terms of distribution and duration patterns of IRs, individualizing Romanian in the context of both Romance and Germanic languages. An important contribution of this current study is that it broadens our understanding of (dis)fluencies based on a lesser-documented European language.
