Abstract
The occurrence of filled and unfilled pauses was examined with respect to their location in phonemic clauses. Both types of hesitation were most frequent after the first word in the clause, regardless of length. These data are regarded as directly challenging the transitional probability theory of hesitations. The phonemic clause is proposed as the encoding unit of speech at the grammatical level.Keywords
