Crosslinguistic disfluency modeling: a comparative analysis of Swedish and tok pisin human-human ATIS dialogues
Robert Eklund · 2000
This paper studies disfluencies in authentic human–humandialogues in Swedish and Tok Pisin. It is found that while there are no major differences as to types or frequencies on a macro level, there are dissimilarities on a micro level, notably in the characteristics of how prolonged segments are realized. The paper also discusses the results in the light of reported disfluencies in English, German, Ilokano and Tagalog.
