Bibliography of hesitation phenomena resources

This section of the FPRC is devoted to collecting articles, books, and other resources related to filled pauses, hesitation phenomena and closely related topics. It is not to be regarded as an exhaustive list, but I hope that it is fairly comprehensive, and that anything not in this list is either so new I haven't added it yet or cited by one of the resources already in the list (hence, just one step away, as it were).

The whole blasted list

You can browse the entire list here. It is a filterable list so you can easily narrow it down to topics, authors, or years that you are interested in. You can also download the entire list in bibtex format, if you like.

Spotlight lists

In the interest of helping researchers and others get up to speed on these various topics quickly, I've assembled a few recommended reading lists, or, spotlight lists, each focusing on one particular research area or theme, and comprising a few key works (usually around ten published works).
