The aim of this research is to make a comparison between frequency and length of filled pauses in schizophrenic spontaneous speech. We hypothesize that people with schizophrenia would make more filled pauses and with longer duration than non-schizophrenic people. Our methods consist in extracting filled pauses out of 6 audios transcriptions from C-ORAL-ESQ (FERRARI, ROCHA, in construction) and C-ORAL-BRASIL, data treatment and statistical analysis in Python language environment. The results show that schizophrenic patients made more filled pauses and with longer duration than non-schizophrenics – in the comparison across the whole subcorpora – and usually more pauses with longer duration when patients were compared individually. There are significant statistical results in the U Mann Whitney test (p <0, 05) regarding length of pauses. We claim that patients with schizophrenia appear to hesitate more than non-schizophrenics in spontaneous speech, although it may be necessary to take into account the context of each of 94 filled pauses found before claiming those as in fact disfluencies.
