Perception of Hesitation in Nonnative Speech.

Fayer, Joan M.; Krasinski, Emily

Bilingual Review/Revista Bilingue, v20 n2 p114-21 May-Aug 1995

Examines quantitative data concerning hesitation phenomena in relation to the subjective perceptions of listeners of nonnative English. Findings reveal that subjective judgments of the number of hesitations or pauses in nonnative speech derive from total pausing time, percentage of pause time, and the length of the longest pause in discourse.
