Description: A hesitation marker is an element in talk that indicates some hesitation on the speaker’s part. In fields such as linguistics, hesitation markers have also been termed “fillers” (e.g., Amiridze, et al. 2010). When speakers are searching for a word, they may delay providing that word, and hesitation markers are one of the devices speakers use to accomplish delay.
