ABSTRACT

AndiNurAtiqahAchmad.2019.Analyzing Interjection Filler in Speaking

English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester Students of English Education

Department FKIP Unismuh Makassar). Guided by Sulfasyah and Dra.Radiah

Hamid.

The objective of the research is to describe the types of interjection filler in

speaking and to know the causes using interjection in speaking.

The researcher used a descriptive quantitative research. Research subject of this

study was the SecondSemester of English Education Department in Muhammadiyah

University of Makassar. The research instrument were questionnaire and observation.

The result of the research indicated that students of second semester English

Department FKIP Unismuh Makassar use uh and um to announce that they are initiating

what they expect to be a minor (uh), or major (um), delay in speaking. Students can use

these announcements in turn to implicate, for example, that they are searching for a

word, are deciding what to say next. Mostly students use disqust type of interjection

filler in speaking, because they feel nervous when suddenly they are told to go up and

tell stories in front of their friends with any prior preparation.

Keywords: Interjection filler, Language production; Disfluencies; Spontaneous speech;

Uh and Um

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1. Background

English was a vital language that is used almost in the whole country of the

world for building communication, technology, and education. Proven, English was

used in teaching and learning process not only in formal but also formal institute. In the

implementation of teaching and learning process as a compulsory subject in

Indonesian, English teaching emphasize on development of four language skills, such as

reading, listening, speaking and writing and language use that refers to the rules for

making language, i.e. the structures used. Pickering & Garrod (2004) argue that achieve

our conversational coordination by virtue of our ability to interactively align each others

actions at different levels of language use:lexicon (i.e.,words and expression), syntax

(i.e.,grammatical rules for arraging words and expression together). As a part of the

subject in the school, Indonesian students consequently asked to learn English through

the mastery of the four skill, i.e., reading, listening, speaking, and grammar.

As the foreign language in our country, English has become popular for the

people to use it in daily conversation or as a language reference like in teaching learning

process in the classroom. Practically, in teaching learning process in the classroom some

students do lots the mistakes or even some errors in their speaking activity. Based on

teaching book, the criteria of evaluation of testing speaking including pronounciation,

vocabulary, structured, comprehension, and fluency. This condition was quite possible

to make most of Indonesian students get some difficulties in learning English. Although

Page 14: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

error are bad things in learning English . For students, error analysis is needed to show

them in what aspect in grammar which is difficult for them. To show the error made by

the students and to know the cause of filler which still encounter many difficulties an

problem especially about grammatical.

Grammar was a description of the structure of a language and the way in which

linguistic units such as words and phrases are combined to produce sentences in the

language. According to Nunan, in Art (2016) explain that every student need to be good

in constracting sentence in order to make good or clear communication. It means, when

learning English at school, the students had been loaded with grammar lessons, and

developed a strong awareness of this aspect. Regardless of the difficulties this created at

the time, or the later consequences for their conversational skills, they had become

convinced that grammar was the most important aspect in English language learning.

Commonly grammatical aspect give effect in students ability to speak

effectively. The students usually get difficulties in understanding English especially in

grammar and get problems in make a good sentence until their sentence is not structural

then influenced their pronouns .Vicars (2016), state that the linguistic fillers gives a hint

of how common and fundamental they are in communication. It means fillers are

occustomed used in speaking especially in particular context, such as when explain

about descriptive text like tourist place which has a lot of highly words to pronounce in

linguistics, a filler was a sound or word that is spoken in conversation by one participant

to signal to others a pause to think without giving the impression of having finished

speaking.The most common filler sounds are uh and um that called Interjection filler.

Page 15: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

Related to the statement above, the students should be know about the cause

students using interjection filler in speaking. Using uh and um comes with a particular

factor, such as divided attention, nerveousness, and infrequent words. In this

concerning, the analysis of the research is going to find out types and the causes of

students using interjection filler. It was important to know about cause of students using

interjection filler and types of interjection do the student use that usually encountered by

second semester students. In this case, the problems not only about filler that produced,

but how the students can solve their speaking ability without utilize filler. One of the

effective way was used the strategy for removing filler words from the students speech,

such as understand why you are doing, why it is unnecessary and raise the level of

preparation.

In this research, the analysis of filler begins with choosing one class as a sample

of analysis such as Second Semester Students of English Education Department FKIP

Unismuh Makassar. It was because the researcher want to describe the causes of error

and to describe types of interjection do the students use in speaking. Based on the

explanation above, the researcher want to conduct a research entitle “Analyzing

Interjection Fillers in Speaking English (a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

Students of English Education Department FKIP Unismuh Makassar)”

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A. Previous Related Research Findings

There were some researchers which has present their thesis in some journal that

related to an error analysis of interjection filler, they are ;

1. Clark and Fox (2002) in their research “Using Uh and Um in Spontaneous

Speaking”. The finding of this research indicated that using uh and um make the

speaker thinking about what they want say the next, the result show that there is

no significant differences between using filler that produced from the second

semester students and using uh and um in spontaneous speaking. The similarity

of this journal with the research is using uh and um spontaneous and using filler

make the speaker delay in speaking, but the difference is the journal focus on

several function of filler views and my research focus on interjection filler that

produce by second semester students in speaking.

2. Alen (2016) in her research “Students Use Linguistic Filler in Varying

Situation” in this research her describe how the students use filler in different

situation, such as one stressful and one regular conversational situation. when in

a stressful situation, students are more likely to use fillers in general and also

that some students rely on their first language when using fillers‟‟. The

similarity of the journal with the research is develop convidence to help the

speaker cope gaps in using filler while the differences the journal focus on

Page 19: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

developing and testing different teaching methods on the use linguistic filler and

my research focus on types of interjection filler do the student use in speaking.

3. Pytcho & Laura in their research (2003) “The Effect of Using Um and Uhh on

The Perceive The Intelengence of The Speaker‟‟ describe that the intelengence

was not the impacted by use interjection filler but using uh and umm do impact

aspect of speakingsuch as perceived preparedness, effectiveness of public

speaking and ease of understanding by listener.The similarity of the journal with

my research was affected of interjection filler was unprepared, credibility of the

speaker, and comprehension of the listener. The differences is the journal focus

on the relationship between the disfluencies and perceived intelligence that

intelligence was not impacted by the use of “um” and “uh”. However, filler

words such as “um” and “uh” do affect other aspects of speaking such as

perceived preparedness, effectiveness at public speaking, and ease of

understanding by a listener. and my research focus on utilize of interjection filler

that encountered by students influenced divided attention, infrequent word, and

nerveousness.

The several researchers above have a similar study of this research which

focus on students error in using uh and um spontaneous and using filler make

the speaker delay in speaking. These focusing on where the student mistakes

until they use interjection filler and the differences amoung researches with this

matter is about several function of filler views and the affect of interjection

filler.

B. Some Pertinent Ideas

1. Concept of Speaking

a. Definition of Speaking

Speaking is a skill which is used by someone to communicate in daily

life, wether at school or outside the school. The skill is required by much

repetition in learning to speak, especially foreign language students have

difficulties in expressing their ideas. They often make mistakes while trying to

communicate in English. As a skill which enables us to produce utterance, when

genuinely communicate something to achieve a particular end. This may involve

expressing ideas and opinions; expressing a wish or a desire to do something.

Moris & Novia (2002) state that speaking is a natural means of communication

between members of society to express the mind and a form of social behavior.

It means speaking is one of the capabilities possessed by humans. It means

speaking is a tool for do communication to other people with delivering the

mind, the ideas,and the ability to pronounce the articulation sounds to express

the words and to express the idea.

b. Aspect of Speaking

Speaking can be divided into two types based on achievement, good

speaking, and bad speaking. Speaking can be says as good or bad based on the

aspect of speaking. Harries (1974) says that aspect of language are:

Page 21: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

1) Fluency

People can be said as fluent speakers if they fulfil the following features

such as pauses may be long but not frequent, Pause ate usually filled, and Pauses

occur at meaningful transition points. In verbal speech humans tend to use words

and phrases that are normally deleted from any type of printed language.

According to Schachter et al., (1991) the use of words like “um” and “uh” in

verbal speech are often referred to as speech disfluencies. It means fluency was

measured by considering the total number of seconds of silence and time spent

to saying um and ah by subject as they complete a task.

2) Vocabulary

Schachter, et.al (1994) mention that in which they state that pauses in oral

speech could possibly indicate that a particular speaker has an enormous mental

vocabulary which they must sort through, in order to come up with the most

effective word to finish their thought. It means when people speaking, they are

involving high proporation of words and expressions that express their attitude

(stance) to what is being said.

3) Grammar

It was needed for the students to arrange a correct sentence in conversation.

Students ability to manipulate structure and distinguish appropriate grammatical

from in appropriate ones. The utility of grammar was also to learn the correct

way to gain expertise in a language in oral and written form.

4) Pronounciation

Page 22: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

Pronounciation is the way for students to produced clearer language when

they speak. It deals with the phonological process that refers to the component of

a grammar made up of the elements and principles that determine how sounds

very and pattern in a language.

5) Comprehension

Comprehension denotes the ability of understanding the speaker‟s intention

and general meaning good comprehension refers to good understanding. If

someone language understanding is good. It will affect the speaking ability.

c. Types of Speaking Activities

According to Brown (2000), there were five types of speaking activities:

“Imitative, intensive, responsive, interactive, and extensive”.

1. Imitative

One of continuum of types of speaking performance is the ability to simply

parrot back (imitative) a word phrase or possibly a sentence.

2. Intensive

Intensive speaking goes one step beyond imitative to include any speaking

performance that is design to practice some psychological and grammatical

aspect of language.

3. Responsive

A good deal of student speech in the classroom is responsive: short replies

to teacher or student‟s initiated questions or coments.

4. Interactive

Page 23: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

The differences between responsive and interactive speaking in the leght

and complexity of the interaction.

5. Extensive

Finally, students at intermediate to advance level are called on to give

extended monologues in the form of oral reports, summaries, short speeches, or

perhaps story telling, during which the opportunity for oral interaction from

listeners in either highly limited (perhaps to nonverbal responses) or ruled out

altogether.

2. Interjection Filler

Corley & Stewart (2008) refers to them has desistation disfluencies. There

were several kinds of filler, such as hesitations, interjections, revisions, and phrase

repititions. Hesitations was silent pause of 1 second or longe (ie: I.. (pause) want

the red one) . Interjections is meaningless words irrelevant to the message [um and

uh] (example: I um want the red one). Revisions is change in content, grammar, or

pronunciation of a message (example: I want the blue…the red one). Unfinished

words: a word that is abandoned and not completed later in the message (example: I

want the oran....red one).Phrase repetitions is repetition of at least 2 complete words

of the message (example: I want…I want the red one) . Word repetitions (up to

2x): repetition of a whole word in a slow casual way (example: I I want the red

one). We use filler in our conversations when we speak continuously, we hesitate in

the middle and search for words to be used. At that time we should not show our

weakness. We have to use some words and expressions. Filler is a sound or word

Page 24: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

that is spoken in conversation by one participant to signal to others a pause to think

without giving the impression of having finished speaking. Goto(2000) state that

filler are used for buying situations where the thinking process is not fast as the

speaking process; we used them to buy oueselves time to play what to say next. It

means that any sounds or words that enhanced of the speaker to pause to think what

to say next .

An interjection is a conventional lexical form (sometimes a phrase) that

conventionally constitutes an utterance on its own and doesn‟t enter into

constraction with other word classes (Wilkins , 1992). It means Interjection is any

new word are produced but are not include in the words who have meaning .such as

the word are uh and um who have the meaning but isn‟t the word in speaking.

Interjection means that the speaker have to stop to think about what to say next. Uh

and um are interjections whose basic meanings are these: (a) Uh: Used to announce

the initiation („uh‟),of what is expected to be a minor delay in speaking.” (b) Um:

“Used to announce the initiation, („um‟), of what is expected to be a major delay in

speaking. Research has shown that use of “um” and uh” indicate that word choice is

difficult for the speaker (Arnold et al., 2007).It means producing uh itself constitutes

a brief delay, and um, a longer delay). If speakers are accurate in their expectations,

the delays should often extend beyond uh and um, and be longer after um than after

uh.

Page 25: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

3. Types of Interjection Fillers

There are two types of fillers; those are a silent pause and a filled pause.

Since this study was to investigate the word fillers, the researcher just focused on

the filled pause. This study classified the types of filled pauses based on Rose‟s

theory. According to Rose (1998), there are two types of filled pause; those are

an unlexicalized filled pause and a lexicalized filled pause.

According to Rose (1998) unlexicalized filled pauses mean non-lexemes

(non-words) filled pauses which speakers use to indicate hesitation while the

speaker think what to say next utterances. Lexical filled pause included pleasure

and dismou types. Unlexical filled pause included doubt, discust, relief,pleasure

type. Here were some examples to represent the data:

eeu..Iam going to tell about Kompaja Waterfall

tengah regency.

In those two examples, there were euu and um which classified as

unlexicalized filled pauses. It was because those two utterances was not a word

and did not have meaning. Based on Rose (1998), lexicalized filled pauses are

fillers in the form of word or short phrases. Here were some examples of

lexicalized filled pauses:

really really beautiful

Ok..I will tell you about place vocation in my village.

Page 26: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

There were really and okay which appeared in observation video. Both of

examples also had the meaning but they were still considered as lexicalized

filled pauses because both words were not important as a part of their sentence.

Therefore, whether both words were in the sentence or not, they could not

change the meaning of the sentence.

Types of Interjection Filler Example word

Doubt Hmm, Er, Um

Relief Whew , Whoa

Surprise Eh, well, really

Disqust Ugh, Eh

Pleasure Uhmm, Yeah

Dismou Ok, oh no !

Stenström (1994) defines a mark of hesitation as one of the functions of

fillers. He also give some examples of fillers as a mark of hesitation, such as eh,

ugh, um, err, uhm, ah, hm, et cetera. In this study, fillers as hesitation devices

appeared the most in the selected videos. These were some example of fillers as

hesitation devices:

ee..famous..famous place of my village

because they have ugh..good..ugh.. a good garden and the ticket ugh..the ticket

just twenty five thousand rupiah.

Page 27: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

Based on the situation, ee, e e e, and ughh were said by adding a slight

pause. It meant that those fillers appeared to give the speaker time to think about

what he/she would say next.

4. Causes of Filler Words

The causes of various speech disfluencies in verbal speech have been

documented by several researchers. A speech disfluency was anything that causes a

break or an upset to normal—or fluent—speech. There are several types of speech

disfluencies that exist in spoken languages today, including slips of the tongue, long

pauses, false starts, and filler words. For the purposes of this technical report, the

conversation will be focused on the causes that lead specifically to filler words

being produced in speech. These interpolations into language are caused by several

different factors.

The causes of filler words into three categories: divided attention, infrequent

words, and nervousness. Each of these activities can cause an increase in verbal

disfluency, thus resulting in filler words interrupting speech. When they are

combined together, the frequency of filler words and the disfluency of the speaker

exponentially increase (Oomen&Postma 2001).

(a) Divided Attention is caused when an individual is attempting to focus on

multiple points of interest at one time. This may be manifest during speeches in

which there is a distracting member of the audience or when something

unplanned or unanticipated occurs. The speaker mo- mentarily directs his or her

Page 28: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

attention from his or her speech, and often filler words creep in to occupy the

void left by nonfluent speech. Divided attention and distractions lead to a

strong increase in filler words and other pauses in task-based activities.

(b) Infrequent Words Filler words also appear in speech when an individual uses

words that he or she uses infrequently. In the International Journal of Language

& Communication Dockrell et al.(1998) state that infrequent words are a major

cause of the appearance of filler words. Infrequent words are simply words that

we do not use on a daily basis and are therefore somewhat foreign to our mental

dictionaries. Filler words, then appear when someone is having difficulty

processing a word. This means that a person‟s brain cannot locate a word,

which will cause him or her to pause, frequently throwing um in its place until

the word, or a synony- mous word, is found and used in speech.

(c) Nervousness Both divided attention and infrequent word usage cause

nervousness, which is another cause of filler words in speech. Once the speaker

has become nervous, it becomes inconsequential whether or not these issues are

overcome. Additionally, Goldwater. et.al (2010)found that infrequent words

and speaking too quickly caused a higher produc- tion of filler words.

Infrequent words and speaking too quickly can occur as a result of nervousness

if a speaker is required to employ infrequent words. Words that people would

not normally say may come into speech when the speaker is nervous because

the speaker‟s brain is occupied with thoughts about the listeners and their

opinions rather than about which words to say. The same phenomenon happens

Page 29: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

when speaking too quickly; speakers want to stop speaking as soon as possible

to get rid of the feeling of nervousness and speak quickly as a result.

In addition to the nervousness that comes from infrequent words,

glossophobia—anxiety regarding public speaking—may occur. This fear is

manifest in a form similar to the well-known idea of stage- fright and can

appear as a social anxiety disorder Garcia et al. (2013) This anxiety has a direct

impact on the speaking ability of the presenter and often leads to dysfunctional

speech disorder. This disorder is often manifested as a quivering voice, (leading

to repetitions), as well as vocalized pauses (leading to filler words). These

repetitions and filler words lead to the decreased credibility of the speaker,

which in turn may cause the audience to become more disinterested and thus

further exacerbate the nervousness of the speaker.

C. Conceptual Framework

The researcher will research students error of utilize interjection filler that

encountered by Second Semester Students English Education of FKIP Unismuh

Makassar. Using uh and um generally the students produced when the students felt

rushes this is caused of divided attention, infrequent words, and nerveousness.

There are two types of filled pause; those are an unlexicalized filled pause and a

lexicalized filled pause. Unlexicalized filled pauses mean non-lexemes (non-words)

filled pauses which speakers use to indicate hesitation while the speaker think what to

say next utterances. Lexical filled pause included pleasure and dismou types. Unlexical

filled pause included doubt, discust, relief,pleasure type.

Based on the situation, ee, e e e, and em were said by adding a slight pause. It

meant that those fillers appeared to give the speaker time to think about what he/she

would say next.

Divided attention is caused when an individual is attempting to focus on

multiple points of interest at one time. This may be manifest during speeches in which

there is a distracting member of the audience or when something unplanned or

unanticipated occurs. The speaker momentarily directs his or her attention from his or

her speech, and often filler words creep in to occupy the void left by non fluent speech.

Infrequent words cause when an individual use words that he or she use

infrequently. Infrequent words are simply words that we do not use on daily basis and

are therefore somewhat foreign to our mental dictionaries. Filler words, then appear

when someone is having difficulty processing a word. Both of divided attention and

infrequent words usage cause nerveousness, which was another cause of filler word in

speech.

Based on the analysis, the researcher know about the causes and types of

interjection filler utilize in speaking by Second Semester Students of English Education

Department FKIP Unismuh Makassar.

CHAPTER IV

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

In this chapter, the results of the study were presented. The chapter was divided

into two main sections; they are findings of the research and the discussion of the

research. The findings presented the result of data analysis collected through

observation about types of interjection filler do the student use in speaking English and

questionnaire about the causes of student using interjection filler at second semester

students in Muhammadiyah University of Makassar. The discussion deals with the

interpretation of the findings in the research.

A. Findings

The finding covers the data of the types of interjection filler and the causes of

student using interjection filler in speaking English. The researcher was conducted this

research at the second semester students in Muhammadiyah University of Makassar.

The researcher took all classes at the second semester, there were 8 classes. From the 8

classes the researcher chose 3 students as the representatives of each class. After

conducting research on 24 students, the researcher collected the data listed in the

following explanation in more detail.

1. Analyzing Student Use Interjection Filler in speaking

After conducting the research ,the researcher obtained the data result of the

observation. The result present the interpretation as follow:

4. Disqust 20 83,3

5. Pleasure 2 8,33

6. Dismou 0 0

The table 4.1 above shows utilization of types interjection filler. From the table

4.1, it can be seen that the result of the observation was none of the students use

“Relief, and Dismou type”. There were 20 frequency classified into “Discust type”.

Both of “Pleasure type” and “surprise type” were 4 frequency or 8,33% students‟ use of

this type. We can check from the transcript below:

Next about the scenary, the scenary is really really beautiful especially when

sunset. All visitors from local always take photo when sunset. So, maybe

ugh..thats all about my description.

(UA) : I would like to describe a tourism destination in my place. It is

The table 4.2 shows the result of the observation students tended to use

linguistic fillers very rarely in the second stage and when they were used in short

stretches. For example below, PT and KM used an extension when unable to

find what word to use next. Another student Leo filled in with a word that fitted

in, in an attempt to facilitate the continued exchange:

(PT) :Ugh.. I came from Bulukumba. I want to describe tourism in my

city, In my city Ugh…there is a lot of tourism such as…..Bira Beach, Samboang

Beach, and ect.

(Leo) :Ok.. I will tell you about place vocation in my village, I will talk

you about “Ammatoa”. I think Ammatoa is really really…Ughh…satisfied.

Based on the transcript above, there were 1 frequency (4,16%) of doubt

type both of them. There were 27 frequency (112,5% ) into “discust type”. Then

“relief, pleasure, and dismou type” was none frequency.

The table 4.3 above shows utilization of types Interjection Filler. From

the table 4.3, it can be seen that the result of the observation was none of the

studentsuse“Relief, and Surprise type”. There were 24 frequency classified into

“Discust type”. Each students were 1 classified into “Doubt,Pleasure and

Dismou type”. It can be conclude that mostly student use Discust type because

there were 100% totally student say ugh…for example below:

(NK) : I have tourism place or ugh….famous tourism place in my home

Budonggala Beach is beautiful.

Based on the transcript above, there were 1 frequency (4,16%) of

“doubt,pleasure,dismou type” both of them. Then “relief and surprise type” was

none. Both of them 100% use “discust type”.

Page 45: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

Based on the transcript above, there were 3 frequency (12,5%) of doubt

type both of them. There were 1 frequency (4,16%) into dismou type. Then 5

frequency of surprise type. Relief and pleasure type was none frequency.

The table 4.5 shows the result of the observation students in class 2E as

a sample of this research , based on the table above indicate only a few types of

interjection filler that they use in speaking. Because they talk slowly or without

haste. There were only 1 frequency of “Discust type”. It was none “Doubt,

Relief, Surprise, Pleasure, Dismou types”. It can be conclude that filler words

appear when speaker speaking quickly and found infrequent word caused a

higher production of filler words.

The table 4.6 above shows utilization of types interjection filler, it can be

seen that the result of the observation both of student were two “Discus ttype”.

SM was none types of interjection filler when she speak. MR classified into 6

frequency of “Dismou type”. Each students was none classified into

“Doubt,Relief,Surprise and Pleasure type” for example below:

(SM) : I want to describe the tourism attracting that area in

Mandaria…Mandalaria Beach. Mandalaria Beach is located in Bahara village

Bonto Bahari district , south Sulawesi Province. The Mandalaria Beach is one of

the new tourism attractive , when you were go on the beach , you will be greated

camp of the source of the Basohara Camp about 4 km from Mandalaria Beach.

On the Mandalaria Beach you can swimming and enjoy the beautiful view.

Page 47: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

(Aul) : I want to describe the tourism attracting in my area, there are so

many the tourism attracting in my area like the WalinggaBola Beach, Mutiara

Beach, MokoBeach,Buni Beach, and any other. But I choose describe the

MokoBeach .WanatobiBeach is located Wanatobi Village, Central Buton

Page 48: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

Based on the observation above, It can be conclude that 25% frequency

of Dismou types that MR use in speaking . Indicate they say “ok” appear when

someone difficulty processing a words.

6. Dismou 0 0

The table 4.7 show that the skill level of the observation subjects seemed

to influence how they used linguistic fillers. Some of the students also used

extension of a regular word as a filler. Silber-Varod (2011) explains that the

extension of a word‟s final syllable often occurs, used as a linguistic filler when

we hesitate what to say next, thus it can be considered a linguistic filler or a

filling strategy. For example below, (Husni) : I come from Toraja, ugh…Toraja,

Toraja ugh…some people know about that Toraja has two ugh…religion namely

B. Discussion

Based on the analysis of data in finding on this research, the researcher would like to

discuss about the problem statement in this research. The researcher focused on the

second semester students of English Education Department FKIP Unismuh Makassar.

1. Analyzing Student Use Interjection Filler in speaking

Based on the result of the study, the researcher would like to discuss about the

problem statement in this research, the first question is “What types of interjection

Page 59: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

filler do the students use in speaking English at the Second Semester Students of

English Education Department FKIP Unismuh Makassar? ” to answer this problem

statement the research conducted observation. Mostly students use discust types of

interjection filler in speaking English. . majority of students use disqust type of

interjection filler. This is supported by Stenström (1994) defines a mark of

hesitation as one of the functions of fillers. He also give some examples of fillers

as a mark of hesitation, such as eh, ugh, um, err, uhm, ah, hm, et cetera. The

biggest difficulty that encountered by students are the general mistake that the

researcher found in the previous analysis of another researchers influenced by

fluency. People can be said as fluent speakers if they fulfil the following features

such as pauses may be long but not frequent, Pause ate usually filled, and Pauses

occur at meaningful transition points. In verbal speech humans tend to use words

and phrases that are normally deleted from any type of printed language.

According to Schachter et al., (1991) the use of words like “um” and “uh” in

verbal speech are often referred to as speech disfluencies. It means fluency was

measured by considering the total number of seconds of silence and time spent to

saying ugh and umm by subject as they complete a task.

2. Analyzing the Causes of the Student Use Interjection Filler in Speaking

English

Based on the result of the study, the researcher would like to discuss about

the second problem statement in this research. The second question about “What

are the causes of student using interjection filler at the Second Semester of

Page 60: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

English Education Department FKIP Unismuh Makassar?” to answer the

problem statement the research conducted questionnaire sheets. Each student has

their own opinion about interjection filler in speaking English. Most of them

choose agree over the statement. In the questionnaire that had been distributed,

the students were asked to respond 10 items related to their perception towards

student use interjection filler in speaking English, below are the detail

explanation :

1. I use “ugh” and “um” when I was appointed to speak without preparation

Based on the data analysis the variable “I use “ugh” and “um” when I

was appointed to speak without preparation”. It was found that 12 students

choose strongly agree and 5 choose agree. There were 4 students choose

partially agree. Then 3 students choose disagree, and it was none student choose

strongly agree with this statement. It means that they need time to think and

prepare what to speak. This is supported by Arnold (2003),that state speakers

who used “um” and “uh” were rated as more unprepared to talk about their

topic. In his research, Unpreparedness may suggest a lack of forethought that

seems necessary to intelligently convey a message. It means they can‟t be told to

tell suddenly without preparation.

2. Divided attention and infrequent word happened if I am sunddenly

appointed to appear in public speaking.

Based on the data analysis the variable “Divided attention and

infrequent word happened if I am sunddenly appointed to appear in

Page 61: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

public speaking.” It was found, 2 students choose agree and also 10

students chose agree. There were 8 students choose partially agree but

only 4 students choose disagree. It was none student choose strongly

disagree. It means that divided attention, infrequent words, and

nerveousness is causes of using interjection filler in speaking English.

This is supported by Dockrell et al.(1998) state that infrequent words are

a major cause of the appearance of filler words.

The result of discussion above has showing us that Mostly students use disqust

type of interjection filler in speaking English and there are three causes of students

using interjection filler in speaking English. Divided attention, infrequent words

and nerveousness was the causes that encountered by students in speaking English.

There are many words in English which can not be easy to pronounce for students

in general. Divided attention is happened because student is attempting to focus on

multiple point at one interest. Infrequent words is happened when the students use

words he or she used infrequently. Both of divided attention and infrequent wors

usage nerveousness which one another causes of interjection filler. For instance,

the students tend to speak English with a lot of fillers that they produce. It is

because the lack of self confidence and practice that they had in their daily life

related to the three causes of interjection filler in speaking English.

B. Suggestion

Based on the result of the data analysis and conclusion, the researcher prestent

some suggestion for the lecturer, for the students, and for the next researcher.

1. For the Lecturer at Third Semester of English Education Department

Muhammadiyah Makassar University

a. The lecturer, it would be more effective if there is any improvement in

practicing speaking in the class instead of theory, it will be useful to

increase students‟ capability to pronounce the words or sentence in

English.

b. The lecturer should have known what problems that students encounter

during the practicing and pay attention to them because the filler comes in

different way to each students could be more confidence and they are no

longer worries of making any mistake.

2. For the Students at Second Semester of English Education Department of

Muhammadiyah Makassar University

a. The students need to increase their capacity in memorizing lots of

vocabularies in English, so that they will be able to produce words more

frequently and making less of mispronounce.

b. The students have to improve their self convidence or control their stressed

when they speak in public, because speaking process was greantly

enhanced in relationship to the thought process. Until filler can avoiding in

speaking English.

Page 64: Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive … · 2020. 2. 8. · Analyzing Interjection Fillers in Speaking English ( a Descriptive Study of Second Semester

3. For the next Researcher

a. The researcher hopes that this study can be used as additional reference by

other researcher that has a similarity with this study.

b. The researcher hopes that there will be a researcher that can develop this

research.

The table 4.7 show that the skill level of the observation subjects seemed

to influence how they used linguistic fillers. Some of the students also used

extension of a regular word as a filler. Silber-Varod (2011) explains that the

extension of a word‟s final syllable often occurs, used as a linguistic filler when

we hesitate what to say next, thus it can be considered a linguistic filler or a

filling strategy. For example below, Husni in examples (11) Discust type.

NurFadillah (3) Doubt type and (1) Discust type (1) Pleasure type.
