discourse:filler: filler
The specialization is used in KIParla, a corpus of spoken Italian, for fillers: filled pauses (eh, ehm) and function words (typically e) that fill a pause while the speaker plans the continuation and do not contribute to the syntax of the clause. The filler is attached to the word it precedes.
It differs from discourse, which covers discourse particles and markers with a pragmatic function (allora, appunto, diciamo), and from reparandum, which marks material that is repaired.
