HESITATION UTTERED BY CINTA LAURA AT SELECTED ENGLISH PODCAST
Language is the most important thing in human life. By using language, the
speaker is expected to convey the information clearly. However, in the process of
thinking when delivering ideas, sometimes people made hesitation pause. This
hesitation pause is used when people need time to think of the appropriate word to
say next that suddenly made the speaker make fillers or even corrected themselves.
This study aims to analyze the types of hesitation uttered by Cinta Laura. The
research used a descriptive qualitative method using the theory of hesitation based on
Clark and Clark (1977). The data were taken from the youtube channel Powder Room
Talk and Asian Boss. The result of the research shows that Cinta uttered all of the
types of hesitation based on Clark and Clark's theory. There are nine types of
hesitation: silent pause, filled pause, repeat, false start (retraced), false start
(unretraced), correction, interjection, stutters, and slip of the tongue.
