本研究以英国国家语料库（BNC）为基础，并考虑了伦敦-隆德语料库（LLC）的数据。研究表明，填充停顿“呃/呃”和“嗯/嗯”是区分英语语域和沿着性别、年龄和社会经济阶层的社会语言学标记。男性、老年人和受过教育的人比女性、年轻人和受教育程度较低的人使用更多的填充词。女性、年轻人和受过教育的人更常使用鼻音化。这些社会语言学因素可能可以部分解释这样一个事实，即填充语的使用是更高的LLC和上下文控制的样本的BNC比人口样本的BNC。本文认为，应该更积极地看待填充语作为计划信号或计划者的作用，并对其功能进行仔细的话语分析研究。承认它们是文字将有助于这一工作。
This study is based on the British National Corpus (BNC) and also takes data from the London-Lund Corpus (LLC) into account. It shows that the so-called filled pauses er/uh and erm/um are sociolinguistic markers that differentiate between registers of English and along gender, age and socio-economic class. Men, older people and educated speakers use more fillers than women, younger speakers and less educated speakers. Nasalization is used more often by women, younger speakers and more educated speakers. These sociolinguistic factors can probably partly explain the fact that the use of fillers is higher in the LLC and the context-governed sample of the BNC than in the demographic sample of the BNC. It is argued that a more positive view should be taken of fillers as planning signals, or planners, and that their functions should be submitted to careful discourse analytic study. Their recognition as words will facilitate such an undertaking.
