What do disfulencies tell us about speech?

One of the major questions in speech science has been how are language production and comprehension related. Both processes require rapid and accurate retrieval of words and appropriate grammatical structures from the mental lexicon. Theories propose that word retrieval involves the selection of at least two levels of lexical information, semantic representations and word-forms. Spontaneous speech is characterized by various phonetic processes such as co-articulation, the variability of the phonetic from the words, and by various types of disfluency phenomena. As speakers we come across difficulties during speech planning while as listeres we have to cope with other peoples' speech difficulties resulting in erroneous utterances. Speech disfluence are generally defined as phenomena that interrupt the flow of speech land do not add propositional contents to an utterance. There are various forms of disfluencies that occur and might slightly differ across languages.
