本研究旨在定量测试填充停顿是否能突出语篇结构。更具体地说，首先研究了FPs在主要话语边界附近是否更典型。其次，对FPs进行声学分析，以检查发生在主要话语边界的FPs是否在片段和韵律上不同于发生在较浅话语边界的FPs。对12个自发独白（荷兰语）的分析表明，在主要话语边界后面的短语通常包含FPs。此外，强断裂后的FPs往往发生在短语初始位置，而弱边界后的FPs大多数发生在短语内部位置。此外，声学观察表明，在主要语篇边界处的FPs在节段性和韵律性上都是不同的。它们在相邻沉默停顿的分布方面也有所不同。
The study aims to test quantitatively whether filled pauses (FPs) may highlight discourse structure. More specifically it is first investigated whether FPs are more typical in the vicinity of major discourse boundaries. Secondly, the FPs are analyzed acoustically, to check whether those occurring at major discourse boundaries are segmentally and prosodically different from those at shallower breaks. Analyses of twelve spontaneous monologues (Dutch) show that phrases following major discourse boundaries more often contain FPs. Additionally, FPs after stronger breaks tend to occur phrase-initially, whereas the majority of the FPs after weak boundaries are in phrase-internal position. Also, acoustic observations reveal that FPs at major discourse boundaries are both segmentally and prosodically distinct. They also differ with respect to the distribution of neighbouring silent pauses.
