Abstract
Spectrograms of spontaneous speech revealed that syllables preceding a judged-pause location were usually longer than those following, whether or not a silent interval was present. Most judged-pause locations were junctures, but syllable length governed judgments independently of juncture cues.

The occurrence of filled and unfilled pauses was examined with respect to their location in phonemic clauses, and both types of hesitation were most frequent after the first word in the clause, regardless of length.

The purpose of the experiments was to examine the function of hesitation pauses in speech; hesitancy in speech was shown to be closely related to uncertainty of prediction (entropy) and fluency of utterance to redundancy.

Intercorrelations among various hesitation phenomena, production variables, and message characteristics found in spoken responses were factor analysed in an attempt to establish a parsimonious description of basic attributes underlying encoding behaviour.
