Chapter 7. Phonetic characteristics of filled pauses in Hungarian-English bilingual and Hungarian monolingual speech
-
Judit Bóna
Abstract
We analyzed Hungarian filled pauses produced by monolingual Hungarian-speaking children (ages 6 to 9 years) and their bilingual Hungarian- and English-speaking peers in connected speech samples to investigate whether the hesitations produced by the groups would differ due to cross-linguistic influences on bilingual children’s speech or adhere to the phonology of the target language in both groups. Our results indicated specific effects of English on Hungarian filled pauses of our bilingual participants. At the same time, the Hungarian hesitations produced by both groups largely adhered to the phonology of the target language, reinforcing the notion that speech and language acquisition in bilinguals differs – at least in some respects – from speech patterns produced by monolingual peers (cf. Grosjean, 1989).
