Abstract
This paper represents a preliminary acoustic analysis of filler particles in terms of voice quality (i.e., modal vs. creaky phonation). The main research questions addressed in this study revolve around which particular voice parameters are indicative of (non)modal phonation of fillers used by healthy speakers of Standard Romanian, and whether the function of the filler particle varies with different voice qualities. The analysis is carried out on Romanian connected speech data extracted from the Ro-Phon corpus (non-pathological speech), an open-access linguistic resource developed during our postdoctoral research project financed by UEFISCDI (2020 – 2022).
