  • 本文旨在探討英文帶稿演講中的贅詞以及以英語為母語和不以英語為母語的講者,在使用贅詞時有何不同的傾向。本文以十篇正式會議中的講稿為分析對象。文中所分析的四種贅詞包括重起開頭語(false starts)、重複語(repetitions)、插入語(parenthetic remarks)、和填充語(fillers)。此外本文對講稿的TTR亦有分析,以檢視書面講稿中的字彙多樣性。本文的主要結論為:1)帶稿演講的字彙多樣性並不如書面文件一般高;2)在技術類演講中,講者會使用較多的重複語及插入語以利聽眾及口譯員的理解;3)在帶稿演講中重起開頭語和填充語出現的頻率較低,這是因為講者大都照本宣科。

    This study examines the redundant elements in English speech texts that are written before a conference and delves into the differences in the use of redundant elements by native and non-native speakers when preparing speech texts. Analysis of this study is based on a corpus consisting of ten authentic speeches. The four redundant elements identified in this study include false starts, repetitions, parenthetic remarks, and filler. The type-token ratio of the speech texts is also analyzed in order to shed light on vocabulary diversity in written texts. Major conclusions of this study include: 1) When interpreting a prepared speech, the workload for the interpreter, especially the memory load associated with high vocabulary diversity, is not as heavy as interpreting a written document; 2) In speeches that feature technical nature, the speaker would help to make the interpreter’s job easier by repeating the keywords or inserting paraphrases of some sentence. 3) Fillers and false starts are less prevailing than repetitions and parenthetic remarks in prepared speech as all the speaker would reads the text verbatim.
