| Research Abstract |
The present study examines the nature of laryngeal gesture during the production of intra-sentential pauses by use of a rhino-laryngofiberscope. Pauses of two contrasting lengths, i.e., 'normal-length' and 'short', were compared. The production of 'short' pauses was characterized by a closed glottis with supraglottal laryngeal constriction. The production of 'normal-length' pauses presented inter-speaker as well as intra-speaker variations in the laryngeal gestures employed. One speaker produced normal-length pauses with an open glottis, while the other speaker employed both the open glottis and the closed glottis with supraglottal constriction in the realization of normal-length pauses.
