Through a case observation and a questionnaire survey, this presentation seeks to elucidate the patterns of word-internal disfluency in Japanese communication and determine how speakers implement these patterns. Two conclusions can be drawn: (i) Four possible patterns of word-internal disfluency exist in Japanese communication. Some cases show that disfluency that superficially appears not to be prolonged may come under prolongation. (ii) Some deviations are observed in disfluency patterns in accordance with the speaker���s attitude; all four patterns can be seen to occur in hesitant attitudes, whereas those expressed in the attitude of surprise primarily belong to the ���suspending and restarting��� pattern. However, where the degree of surprise is low or close to disgust, disfluency is more likely to be expressed as ���prolonging and continuing.��� |
