The aim of this paper is to map the frequency of occurrence of silent pauses, filled pauses and lengthenings in the consecutively interpreted Hungarian target language output of interpreter trainees. As part of a longitudinal study, recordings were made of the students’ consecutive interpreting performance at the end of the second, third and fourth semesters of a 4-semester master’s program in translation and interpreting. Our results indicate that there were no significant changes in the frequency of occurrence of disfluencies in the target language output of students in the recordings made at different stages of interpreter training. However, the average duration of filled pauses in the interpreted target language texts decreased significantly as students progressed in their training.","PeriodicalId":224600,"journal":{"name":"Disfluency in Spontaneous Speech (DiSS) Workshop 2023","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122181878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis is conducted on different speech styles, i.e., descriptive informal dialogic speech as well as informative monologic speech, and concerns the distributional characterisations of prolongation phenomena, their segmental and durational traits also considering the comparison with another type of voiced speech management phenomena, that is non-verbal vocalisations. The main results show that in the considered Italian data speakers use prolongations more frequently than non-verbal vocalisa-tions and the latter are generally longer, which argues for the fact that these two voiced phenomena are differently involved in speech management. Then, the distributional and segmental features of prolongations in Italian as compared to other languages support the idea that prolongations, as linguistic elements, are subjected, to a certain extent, to the phonotactic constraints of languages. 1","PeriodicalId":224600,"journal":{"name":"Disfluency in Spontaneous Speech (DiSS) Workshop 2023","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133493421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we investigate these interaction patterns in relation to speakers' self-pauses, considering their relative frequency and duration. Our research holds significance in offering cross-linguistic insights, which we accomplish by analyzing the behavior of politicians and TV hosts during political interview panels in four languages: Brazilian Portuguese, German, Hebrew, and Italian. Our findings reveal linguistic (and potentially cultural) differences in the timing of turn taking in the interviews. Notably, Israeli and Italian politicians exhibit quicker responses and comments compared to their counterparts in German and Brazilian Portuguese languages, who demonstrate a tendency for larger gaps before a turn is taken. Moreover, Hebrew and Italian speakers engage in more frequent overlapping speech, interrupting their interlocutors' turns, in contrast to German and Brazilian Portuguese speakers. Building upon these results, we propose silence-based definitions for two conversational styles: \"high involvement\" languages and \"high considerateness\" languages (Tannen, 1994), also conceptualized as \"word cultures\" and \"silence cultures\" by Agliati et al. (2005).","PeriodicalId":224600,"journal":{"name":"Disfluency in Spontaneous Speech (DiSS) Workshop 2023","volume":"88 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124204796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has found that two kinds of hesitation: silent pauses and reformulations, are significantly influenced by inhibitory control in healthy second language learners. Silent pauses are also well-known linguistic markers of disease progression in people living with AD and may evidence a speaker’s production problems, whereas reformulations promote the joint discourse. Inhibitory control is therefore associated with disfluencies that are personal and social. It was hypothesised that first language speakers with a diagnosis of AD would make fewer reformulations and produce more silent pauses relative to healthy individuals. Data that included a Stroop task, a two-minute monologue, and a two-minute category fluency task were collected and analysed from 11 participants with AD and 13 healthy Controls. In AD participants, only the number of silent pauses correlated with the Stroop task, while reformulations correlated with the MoCA, and silent pause duration with the MoCA and category fluency task, suggesting that the effects of disease-related cognitive decline rather than competing information were responsible for the lack of fluency.","PeriodicalId":224600,"journal":{"name":"Disfluency in Spontaneous Speech (DiSS) Workshop 2023","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132822590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particular focus is on the analysis of mimicking and non-mimicking laughter, as we hypothesized that the former might involve different neural pathways in comparison to latter, and a spectrotemporal modulation analysis was selected to evaluate the acoustic differences between them. The goals of our investigation are (1) to validate the corpus as ecological in terms of laughter production prior to evaluating neurophysiological correlates of laughter production and perception in conversational interactions, (2) to compare mimicking and non-mimicking laughter in terms of acoustic features, and (3) to evaluate which features need to be taken in account for our forthcoming analysis of fMRI data. Despite the uncon-ventional recording conditions, laughter production and use re-sults are comparable to those observed in face-to-face interactions. Mimicking laughter has significantly increased temporal modulations in comparison to non-mimicking laughter, however, no differences are observed in the spectral modulation domain. Our findings suggest that mimicking laughter might be related to different underpinning neuro-psychological processes on which we plan on gaining insight through future neural-correlate analysis.","PeriodicalId":224600,"journal":{"name":"Disfluency in Spontaneous Speech (DiSS) Workshop 2023","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125123113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
