Abstract
Abstract Recent advances in linguistics suggest the benefit of combining empirical data from corpus-driven and experimental methods to access higher understanding of the cognitive process underlying the production and perception of phenomena (Arppe et al. 2010). Along these lines, this contribution introduces the different folds of my thesis subject on the production and perception of prosodic markers of (dis)fluency by native speakers of French. I will be presenting (1) a cognitively integrated and usage-based approach to (dis)fluency for native speakers (Segalowitz 2010; Alter & Oppenheimer 2009; Moniz 2009 2014), (2) a brief outline of the conclusions drawn from my latest corpus study on disfluencies across situations and Basic Discourse Units (Grosman 2013 ; Degand, Martin & Simon 2014) and from the perceptive experiment on identical word repetitions (Grosman submitted) and finally (3) I would enjoy a brain-storming on our next experimental design relating to cognitive and social syntactico-prosodic fluency across situations elaborated in collaboration with A.C Simon and L. Degand. References Alter, A. L., & Oppenheimer, D. M. (2009). Uniting the tribes of fluency to form a metacognitive nation.
