AB - In the speech of Japanese learners (hereinafter referred to as learners) and native Japanese speakers (hereinafter referred to as native speakers), multiple fillers appear consecutively (consecutive fillers).
However, characteristics of these two cohorts in the use of the consecutive fillers show both similarities and differences with each other. The current study first looked into the database of OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview) and drew the use of 12 types of consecutive fillers used by learners (20 learners at each intermediate, advanced and upper advanced level). Next, it undertook OPI for 10 native speakers, and then compared their use of the consecutive fillers with that of the learners. As a result, the following characteristics were identified. (1) The higher the learner's level, the higher the total number of consecutive fillers and the average number per person. (2) The higher the learner's level, the more various types of consecutive fillers used. (3) A consecutive filler expression “nanka-anoo" is found commonly in the data of native speakers and upper advanced learners, but there is no common expression between Intermediate and Advanced learners. (4) The use of consecutive fillers with two or three successive fillers were different between native speakers and learners. The above results reveal that as learners’ proficiency level becomes higher, their use of consecutive fillers shows both aspects that it is similar to that of native speakers in some features and is different in some others.
