The focus of this research is to verify the influence of the age variable on fluent Turkish native speakers' production of the various types of speech disfluencies. To accomplish this, four groups of native speakers of Turkish between ages 4-8, 18-23, 33-50 years respectively and those over 50-year-olds were constructed. A total of 84 participants took part in this study. Prepared and unprepared speech samples of at least 300 words were collected from each participant via face-to-face interviews that were tape recorded and transcribed; for practical reasons, only the unprepared speech samples were collected from children. As a result, for the prepared speech situation, there was no statistically significant difference in terms of age in the production rates of filled gaps, false starts, slips of the tongue and repetitions; however, participants in the over 50-year-old group produced more hesitations and prolongations than participants in the 18-23 and 33-50-year-old groups. For the unprepared speech situation, age variable was not effective on the production rates of filled gaps. However, 4-8 and over 50-year-old participants produced more hesitations and prolongations than the 18-23 and 33-50-year-old groups. 4-8-year-old children produced more slips of the tongue than the 18-23 and 33-50-year-old groups, and more false starts and repetitions than the participants in the other three age groups (18-23, 33-50, over 50). Further analyses revealed more extensive insights related to the types of disfluencies, the position of disfluencies, and the linguistic units involved in disfluency production in Turkish speech.
本研究的重点是验证年龄变量对流利的土耳其语母语者产生各种言语不流畅类型的影响。为了实现这一目标，分别构建了四组土耳其语母语者，年龄分别在4 - 8岁、18 - 23岁、33 - 50岁以及50岁以上。共有84名参与者参与了这项研究。通过面对面访谈收集每位参与者至少300字的准备好的和未准备的言语样本，访谈进行录音并转录；出于实际原因，仅从儿童那里收集未准备的言语样本。结果显示，在准备好的言语情境中，在填充停顿、错误起始、口误和重复的发生率方面，年龄没有统计学上的显著差异；然而，50岁以上组的参与者比18 - 23岁组和33 - 50岁组的参与者产生了更多的犹豫和延长音。在未准备的言语情境中，年龄变量对填充停顿的发生率没有影响。然而，4 - 8岁和50岁以上的参与者比18 - 23岁组和33 - 50岁组的参与者产生了更多的犹豫和延长音。4 - 8岁的儿童比18 - 23岁组和33 - 50岁组的儿童产生了更多的口误，并且比其他三个年龄组（18 - 23岁、33 - 50岁、50岁以上）的参与者产生了更多的错误起始和重复。进一步的分析揭示了与土耳其语言语中不流畅类型、不流畅位置以及不流畅产生所涉及的语言单位相关的更广泛见解。
