From Conversation Starters to Speech Habits: A Sociophonetic Exploration of Language Fillers

Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 11

Abstract

This sociophonetic study delved into the intriguing domain of language fillers, investigating their transformation from mere conversation starters to integral speech habits. Language fillers, often dismissed as mere vocal pauses, were examined through a comprehensive exploration of their sociolinguistic complexities. Employing a multidimensional approach, encompassing phonetic, phonological, and sociocultural perspectives, this research uncovered the multifaceted functions and evolving roles of language fillers in contemporary communication. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses, this study not only elucidated the linguistic mechanisms underlying the use of language fillers but also highlighted their sociocontextual variability across diverse speech communities. By shedding light on the intricate interplay between language fillers, sociophonetics, and sociolinguistic norms, this investigation contributed to a deeper understanding of how language fillers shape and reflect individual communication styles and broader linguistic practices.
