感知实验表明，母语人士认为非母语人士的未填充停顿是不分青红皂白和优柔寡断的。对未填充停顿的多元回归分析表明，句法结构与停顿的位置和持续时间之间存在联系。母语人士会均匀地在长时间的句法停顿中停顿，而非母语人士的未填充停顿分布在不同的位置，可能反映了有限的句法规划。我们的方法可以用于在文本到语音系统中合成适当的未填充停顿，并用于训练非母语学习者的自动发音学习系统中的停顿行为。索引术语：非填充停顿，第二语言学习，句法结构，感知实验，多元回归分析
Perception experiments suggest that natives judge non-native unfilled pauses as indiscriminate and indecisive. Multiple regression analyses of unfilled pauses indicate a connection between syntactic structure and pause location and duration. Native speakers uniformly pause at large syntactic breaks with marked duration, whereas non-natives' unfilled pauses are spread over various locations, possibly reflecting limited syntactic planning. Our method might be used to synthesize appropriate unfilled pauses in text-to-speech systems, and to train pausing behavior in automated pronunciation learning systems for non-native learners.
