摘要：

Maclay & Osgood’s theory about filled pauses (FPs) is described and evidence relevant to it summarized. Maclay & Osgood’s own evidence for their hypothesis is not very satisfactory; suggestions are made for a better method of testing the hypothesis, using the “cloze” method to estimate transition probabilities. The results show that words following FPs have a lower transition probability than other words, with the exception of pronouns where there is no difference. The significance of this finding is discussed in the light of Maclay & Osgood’s theory. © 1969, Psychonomic Journals, Inc.. All rights reserved.
