SPONTANEOUS SPEECH CHARACTERISTICS IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ACCORDING TO LEVELT'S LANGUAGE PRODUCTION MODEL

Abstract

This study investigates spontaneous speech characteristics in university students through Levelt’s language production model. By analyzing transcripts from unscripted English podcasts and interviews, the research identifies pauses, repetitions, and repairs. These elements are then mapped to the conceptualization, formulation, articulation, and self-monitoring stages. Findings emphasize how spontaneous speech reflects real-time cognitive processing.
