Summary, in English
This paper presents a study of disfluencies in written language
production. Texts from ten university students are compared to data
from people who almost never use writing, namely adult dyslexics and
to texts from people who communicate in writing under real-time
constraints every day, namely deaf whose main use of writing is text
telephone conversations. This paper investigates which types of
disfluencies occur in writing, where they occur, their frequencies and
their durations. Further, this paper investigates how different text
types and the specific characteristics of deaf and dyslexic writers
influence the distribution of disfluencies. The results are discussed
in relation to earlier work on disfluencies in speaking.
