This discussion examines how speaker pauses, both filled and silent, are keyed to functions within a conversation and to functions within narration. In Alzheimer's discourse, pause-fillers can be both placeholders and hesitation markers; they may be ohs and ums or longer formulaic phrases. Extracts from the speech of 4 older women from the United States and from New Zealand are reviewed for changes in syntactic complexity, for retention of story components, and for pauses. The extracts illustrate these functions for silent pauses: as word-finding; as planning at word, phrase, and narrative component levels; and as pragmatic compensation as other interactional and narrative skills decrease.
本讨论探讨了说话者的停顿,包括有声停顿和无声停顿,如何与对话中的功能以及叙述中的功能相关联。在阿尔茨海默病患者的话语中,停顿填充词既可以是占位符,也可以是犹豫标记;它们可能是“哦”“嗯”等,也可能是更长的固定短语。本文回顾了4位来自美国和新西兰的老年女性的讲话摘录,分析了其句法复杂性的变化、故事成分的保留情况以及停顿情况。这些摘录展示了无声停顿的这些功能:作为找词停顿;作为在单词、短语和叙述成分层面的规划停顿;以及作为随着其他互动和叙述技能下降而进行的语用补偿停顿。
