No. 120705039 vii UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA ABSTRACT This thesis entitled “An Analysis of Speech Disfluency on The Ellen DeGeneres Show” is a linguistics study viewed from psycholinguistics. In this thesis the object the writer analyzed is the speech disfluency made by the host and the guest stars on The Ellen DeGeneres Show represented by the transcript of the talk show aired on November, 5th 2015. Disfluency often happens in spontaneous speech. The theory supporting this thesis is a theory proposed by Gleason and Ratner. The analysis is focused on the types of speech disfluency which are silent pause, filled pause, repetition, and false start. The objective of this study are (1) To identify the types of speech disfluency found in the talk show, (2) To find out the dominant type of the speech disfluency, and (3) To find out the causes of speech disfluency made by the speakers on the talk show. This thesis applies qualitative method by Meleong. The steps passed in this analysis are collecting the data by downloading the video of the talk show, transcribing the data by subtitle, identifying the speech disfluency, classifying the speech disfluency, calculating the dominant type of speech disfluency, and concluding the analysis. The result of the analysis is found that the total number of speech disfluency made by the speakers is 195. Filled pauses occur 85 times (43.6%), repetition 61 times (31.3%), silent pause 39 times (20%), and false start 10 times (5.13%).

    The Humour of Greyson Chance (To Mark the Third Anniversary of the Beginning of His Career)

    1 The Humour Of Greyson Chance (to mark the third anniversary of the beginning of his career) 28 April 2010, when he posted his cover of Paparazzi and his own song Broken Hearts to YouTube, is usually regarded as the beginning of his career. A year ago (on 30 April 2012), during a private function in Hongkong, he recounted that his fans had tweeted to him two days previously ’Two years, two years, two years’ and that he had wondered ‘What’s two years?’ which provoked merriment among the audience. Upon this, he performed a liberally modified version of his cover of Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi, originally the commencement of his career: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNZFilwkfvU It is reassuring that his fans remind him of this anniversary when he himself fails to remember it! This was the time that followed his (band-accompanied) first concert tour in South-East Asia, when he stayed on for a few weeks to perform solo and give interviews. His most frequently varied song, Waiting Outside The Lines, he often interpreted in an exuberant manner, winding up by repeating the ‘wo-o’ for up to forty seconds. Unfortunately, the videos are often of a bad quality: 24 April in Taiwan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL2Qa_6XGZg 20 April in Hongkong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnsZkuCKwUs 4 May in Bangkok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHI65bMUj9o These videos show clearly that he entertains not only his fans, but also himself, and that it is one of his basic characteristics to vary the songs from each perfomance to the next.

    Recurrent Neural Networks in Speech Disfluency Detection and Punctuation Prediction Master’s Thesis Matthias Reisser 1538923 At the Department of Informatics Interactive Systems Lab (ISL) Institute of Anthropomatics and Robotics Reviewer: Prof. Dr. Alexander Waibel Second reviewer: Prof. Dr. J. Marius Zöllner Advisor: Kevin Kilgour, Ph.D Second advisor: Eunah Cho 15th of November 2015 KIT – University of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg and National Laboratory of the Helmholtz Association www.kit.edu Abstract With the increased performance of automatic speech recognition systems in recent years, applications that process spoken speech transcripts become in- creasingly relevant. These applications, such as automated machine transla- tion systems, dialogue systems or information extraction systems, usually are trained on large amount of text corpora. Since acquiring, manually transcribing and annotating spoken language transcripts is prohibitively expensive, natural language processing systems are trained on existing text corpora of well-written texts. However, since spoken language transcripts, as they are generated by automatic speech recognition systems, are full of speech disfluencies and lack punctuation marks as well as sentence boundaries, there is a mismatch be- tween the training corpora and the actual use case. In order to achieve high performance on spoken language transcripts, it is necessary to detect and re- move these disfluencies, as well as insert punctuation marks prior to processing them. The focus of this thesis therefore lies in addressing the tasks of disfluency de- tection and punctuation prediction on two data sets of spontaneous speech: The multi-party meeting data set (Cho, Niehues, & Waibel, 2014) and the switchboard data set of telephone conversations (Godfrey et al., 1992).

However, even if such a perfect STT system were available, readability of transcripts of spontaneous speech as well as their usability in natural language processing systems are likely to be low, since such transcripts lack segmentations and since spontaneous speech contains disfluencies and conversational fillers.

    Contact: Jim Brown MDA Vice President – Public Relations 702-797-8535 (MDA Labor Day Telethon Office) or 520-903-8556 (cell) or [email protected] SUPERSTARS DESCRIBE WHY THEY’RE APPEARING ON MDA LABOR DAY TELETHON LAS VEGAS, Nev., Sept. 1, 2011 ― As the finishing touches are being finessed for the 46th annual Muscular Dystrophy Association Labor Day Telethon that will be broadcast nationwide from 6 p.m. to midnight in every U.S. time zone on Sunday, Sept. 4, mega star Celine Dion aptly described why the iconic show consistently attracts outstanding talent. “It’s always a privilege to be part of the MDA Labor Day Telethon,” said Celine, who’ll be performing in the 2011 Telethon’s opening hour. “I hope by taking part in this great cause, I can help MDA in its mission to make life better for families who are fighting muscle diseases. From supporting scientists who are searching for treatments and cures, to helping children go to MDA summer camp, MDA provides love and care in so many ways.” Celine’s motivation is shared by several artists who just confirmed their participation in Sunday’s primetime Telethon being broadcast by more than 150 television stations nationwide. For example, in a group message so typical of their harmonious sound, Boyz II Men members Shawn Stockton, Nathan and Wanya Morris said, "we’re excited to be part of the MDA Labor Day Telethon this year and lend our voices to a such a good cause. We remember watching it growing up and it's great to be a part of something so historic that benefits so many people everyday.
