Keywords:
DISFLUENCIAS DEL HABLA, ESTRATEGIA DE COMUNICACIÓN, ESTUDIANTES SINOHABLANTES, PAUSASAbstract
For this study, we choosed randomly 347 speeches from the oral translation test of the Spanish as a Speciality Exam held in China in 2019 to analyze the disfluencies made by Chinese students who are on the verge of graduating from the Hispanic Philology degree. The findings revealed that sound pauses were the most common form (55.83%), followed by silent pauses (15.18%), phonetic self-correction (9.57%), partial repetition (8.54%), complete repetition (6.06%), and lexical self-correction (4.82%).
