Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected by documenting and observing a YouTube video of her speech. The analysis applied the classifications by Rose (1998) and Stenström (1994). The findings revealed a total of 143 filler expressions, consisting of 93 non-lexical fillers (such as “uh” and “um”) and 50 lexical fillers (such as “I mean,” “like,” and “you know”). These fillers performed five out of seven functions proposed by Stenström: hesitating, reformulating, initiating, linking, and emphasizing. To ensure the reliability of the analysis, an inter-rater test was conducted using the percentage agreement formula. The agreement between two raters reached 88.8% (127 agreements and 16 disagreements) for filler types, and 79.0%(113 agreements and 30 disagreements) for filler functions. These results indicate that the classification process was consistent and dependable. While non-lexical fillers occurred more frequently, lexical fillers were often used for more complex pragmatic purposes, including clarifying meaning and managing transitions. The study shows that filler expressions are not simply signs of disfluency, but they play important roles in maintaining fluency, organizing discourse, and creating a natural conversational flow. From a pragmatic viewpoint, fillers also reveal the speaker’s awareness, spontaneity, and ability to engage the audience effectively. These results highlight the communicative value of fillers in everyday spoken language.  \nKeywords: Filler Expressions, Speaking Strategies, Pragmatic Functions  \nIntroduction  \nSpeaking is one of the fundamental aspects of human life that enables people to express their ideas, emotions, and intentions effectively. Clear and correct speaking allows the speaker’s message to be understood by the listener as intended (Hastensi, 2020). In both formal and informal communication, speaking plays a crucial role in shaping social interactions. However, spontaneous speech often involves natural pauses, hesitations, and adjustments as speakers organize their thoughts in real time.  \nThese interruptions, commonly known as filler expressions or fillers, are short utterances such as “uh,” “um,” “like,” and “you know” that occupy pauses in speech. It introduces the rationale, objectives, significance of the article, and covers recent and relevant previous studies.  \nAlthough fillers have often been perceived as signs of hesitation or lack of fluency, recent studies show that they serve important communicative and cognitive functions. According to Wigati and Indriani (2021), fillers bridge silences and facilitate speakers’ cognitive processing without disrupting the flow of conversation. Ong and Fermano (2023) further argue that fillers evolve from casual habits into systematic strategies that help speakers structure their spoken content. Sarira et al. (2023) emphasize that fillers ease transitions from written to oral expression, especially in academic and professional settings. Similar findings by Yulpia (2021) and Wang (2021) reveal that language learners use fillers to maintain audience connection while managing internal processing. Other studies, such as those by Grieve et al. (2021) and Dinkar et al. (2023), highlight the role of fillers in ensuring coherence in spontaneous interaction. Even prominent public figures like Elon Musk naturally use fillers in impromptu speech (Tabitha & Bram, 2024), confirming their universality and communicative signific","cbCairDTM4CeXXDS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairDTM4CeXXDS","pdf",353675,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Concept of speaking and clarity\n## Filler expressions as pauses and strategies\n## Prior research on pragmatic and cognitive roles\n## Psychological roles of fillers\n## Comparison of spontaneous and prepared speech\n## Research gap and study aim","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of the study on Taapsee Pannu’s speech?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to identify filler expression types and explain how fillers function as speaking strategies and pragmatic tools in Taapsee Pannu’s spontaneous speech.\"},{\"question\":\"How were filler expressions collected and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected by documenting and observing a YouTube video of her speech, using a qualitative descriptive approach.
