Sažetak

Speech disfluencies are generally defined as phenomena that nterrupt the flow of speech and do not add propositional contents to an utterance. Most spoken disfluencies are not problems in speaking but the solutions to arising problems while speaking. There are various forms of disfluencies like long silent pauses, filled pauses, repeated words, fresh starts, false starts, repairs, prolongations, changes, diverse fillers, slips of the tongue, etc. Spontaneous speech differs not only in the amount and frequency of disfluencies it contains but also in the types that the actual speakers produce. The question arises whether there is any tendency to be traced concerning language- specific (occurrences and) frequency of various types of disfluencies in fluent speech. In this paper we take a closer look at the types, co- occurrences and relative frequency of disfluencies in Hungarian spontaneous speech. The results show that types of uncertainty occur at every 5.47 words in the analyzed material, there are errors at every 33.25 words while there are interruptions at every 10.1 words without silent pauses. The disfluency phenomenon is more speaker-dependent than language dependent. The types and occurrences of these phenopmena are discussed in details in the paper first time for Hungarian.
