    Eduncle Best Answer

    Spoken discourse is an interactive speech between two or more people, which is a broad-based language phenomenon in daily life. Repetition is a conversational strategy for dealing with communication 'trouble spots'. It includes facilitating comprehension since self repetition allows time for the speaker to plan what to say next or how to say it, and facilitates message comprehension on the part of the listener or second speaker. Fillers are used to gain time in search for a vocabulary or a grammatical item.
