Citations in the corpus
- Linguistic skills and speaking fluency in a second language (2012, background): “Some speak faster than others, some use more filled pauses such as uhs and uhms than others, some use more silent pauses than others, and some use longer silent pauses than others (e.g., Clark & Fox Tree, 2002; Goldman-Eisler, 1968; Shriberg, 1994).”
- Towards a General, Continuous Model of Turn-taking in Spoken Dialogue using LSTM Recurrent Neural Networks (2017, background): “For example, an incomplete syntactic clause or a filled pause (such as “uhm”) typically indicates that the speaker is not yielding the turn (Clark and Fox Tree, 2002), and turn-taking is related to information density in the words spoken (Dethlefs et al., 2016).”
- Reference production: Production-internal and addressee-oriented processes (2008, background): “A second pattern that affects referential accessibility is speaker disfluency, for example when speakers produce fillers like uh or um, unfilled pauses, repeated words, repaired words, or even disfluent-sounding prosody (eg, Arnold & Tanenhaus, in press; Clark & Fox Tree, 2002 ; Clark & Wasow, 199”
- The INTERSPEECH 2013 computational paralinguistics challenge: social signals, conflict, emotion, autism (2013, neutral): “Fillers [20] are vocalisations like “uhm”, “eh”, “ah”, etc.”
- Some Other “Uh(m)”s (2010, background): “As noted in the text, I have amalgamated the two forms into “uh(m)” for convenience —which is to say that I do not now know whether the difference between various realizations is relevant for parties to talk-in-interaction and, if it is, how it is consequential, although there are claims about this”
