discourse:filler: filler sound in spoken data

The discourse:filler subtype of the discourse relation is used in spoken data for speaker sounds acting as filled pauses to prolong planning time (they correspond to a pause rather than a real word). The filler is attached to the head of the most relevant clause (usually the root of the sentence), even if this causes non-projectivity.


discourse:filler in other languages: [es] [no] [sl]
