Abstract

Abstract The paper presents analysis of the hesitations in adolescents’ narratives. The speech disfluencies in the adolescents differ from those of the adults by frequency of self-corrections and pauses of hesitation. The adolescents rarely turn to repair their narratives but often interrupt the speech flow by pauses while telling a story stimulated by a wordless book. The lack of self-corrections reflects the specific problems with self-control and self-regulation due to immaturity of the executive function. Narrating about a complex multi-propositional event, the adolescents often experienced hesitation that provoked more self-repairs and hesitation pauses compared to the telling the story about a simple event. The description of the relatively simple content was more complicated syntactically than that of the multi-propositional event. Meanwhile, the content complexity significantly influences frequency of the silent hesitation pauses.
内容复杂性对青少年叙事中犹豫的影响
摘要本文对青少年叙事中的犹豫进行了分析。青少年的言语不流利在自我纠正和犹豫停顿的频率上与成年人不同。青少年很少会去修复他们的叙述,但在讲述一个没有文字的书所激发的故事时,他们经常会用停顿来打断讲话。自我纠正的缺失反映了执行功能不成熟导致的自我控制和自我调节的具体问题。在叙述一个复杂的多命题事件时,与讲述一个简单的事件相比,青少年经常经历犹豫,这引发了更多的自我修复和犹豫停顿。相对简单内容的描述比多命题事件的描述在句法上更为复杂。同时,内容复杂性显著影响沉默犹豫停顿的频率。
