N2 - Phoneticians study acoustic speech signals. But what about the aspects of speech where the signal is silent? The present study investigated speakers’ pausing behavior in their native and non-nativespeech. Pausing measures were applied in order to study between-speaker and within-speakervariability, where within-speaker variability was introduced by recording speakers in their nativeZurich German, and in their second languages English and French. Results showed that pausingmeasures in the form of pause numbers and pause durations are speaker-specific. Furthermore, thisspeaker-specificity became evident across different languages. Results are discussed in the context offorensic voice comparison.
