abstract = {We examined the use of filled pauses in conversations
between homogeneous pairs of autistic and non-autistic
adults. A corpus of semi-spontaneous speech was used to
analyse the rate, lexical type (nasal “uhm” or non-nasal
“uh”), and prosodic realisation (rising, level or
falling) of filled pauses. We used Bayesian modelling for
statistical analysis. We found an identical rate of filled
pauses and an equivalent preference of “uhm” over
“uh” across groups, but also a robust group-level
difference regarding the intonational realisation of filled
pauses: non-autistic controls produced a considerably higher
proportion of filled pause tokens realised with the
canonical level pitch contour than autistic speakers.
Despite the fact that filled pauses are a frequent and
impactful part of speech, previous work on their
conversational use in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is
limited. Our account is the first to analyse the
intonational realisation of filled pauses in ASD and the
first to investigate conversations between autistic adults
in this context. Our results on rate and lexical type can
help to contextualise previous research, while the novel
findings on intonational realisation set the stage for
future investigations.},
