Temporal features and frequency of pauses have been studied extensively in the literature, but the interest in the syntactic location of pauses is a more recent development. While previous research has studied the pause patterns of L1 and L2 speakers as well as the effects of pause location on perceptions of fluency, these studies have all utilized a binary approach the categorization of pauses as occurring either between or within clauses or major constituent boundaries. This research attempts to take a look at pause placement with a finer distinction of pause location, including junctures that occur between and within phrases. To accomplish this, two experiments were conducted. The first experiment gathered read-aloud speech samples from native, non-native, and heritage speakers of Mandarin Chinese, which were then manipulated in Praat to contain only a single pause that occurred either between or within phrases. The samples were presented to native Chinese speakers to assess for perceptions of fluency as affected by the pause location condition. Findings of this preliminary pilot study did not find a significant correlation between pause location and perceptions of fluency at the phrasal level. The second experiment gathered spontaneous speech samples from the same speaker population as Experiment 1. The pauses that occurred in the samples were coded according to a system developed by the author to account for eight different syntactic junctions, and the percentage of pause at each location was calculated. Analysis showed a significant correlation with pause location and percentage of pauses (p < 0.01), as well as a statistically significant interaction between the effects of speaker status and pause location on percentage of pause (p = 0.011). The findings of this study are limited due to the small population size, but research in this fine-grained analysis of pause location within a clause has implications in the fields of L2 acquisition, psycholinguistics, and natural language processing.

520 $a 说话人暂停的时间特征和频率在相关领域已经被广泛地学习与研究，但是说话人所停顿的句法位置是最近兴起的研究领域。虽然先前的研究已经研究了L1和L2说话者的停顿模式以及停顿位置对流利感的影响，但是这些研究都利用了二元分类法对在子句或主要组成部分边界之间或之内发生的停顿进行分类。这项研究试图通过更好地区分停顿位置来观察停顿位置，包括短语之间和短语内发生的接合点。为此，本项研究进行了两个实验。第一个实验从汉语普通话的母语人士，非母语人士和成长在汉语家庭的人士（heritage speakers）那里收集朗读语音样本，然后在Praat中对其进行处理，以使其仅包含在短语之间或短语中出现的单个停顿。样本被提供给说中文的人，以评估他们对于流利程度的感知，而这些感知受到停顿位置的影响。这项初步试点研究的结果并未发现停顿的位置与短语水平的流利感之间存在显着相关性。第二个实验从与实验1相同的说话者群体中收集自发语音样本。样本中出现的停顿根据作者开发的系统进行编码，以说明八个不同的句法成分交界处，并且研究者计算了每个位置处停顿的概率。分析显示与暂停位置和暂停发生的概率显着相关（p <0.01），并且说话者状态和暂停位置对暂停发生概率的影响之间具有统计学意义的交互作用（p = 0.011）。由于样本数量有限，这项研究的结果是也是有限的，但是对子句中停顿位置细粒度分析的研究对L2习得，心理语言学和自然语言处理领域具有影响。.
