[4 second silence] I told Kate I d go back if they needed me. And someone else could easily do Rome. [2 seconds silence] I did say I might have to do Madrid. We ve still got a month. - Mm, OK.

6 Speaking is typified by idea units... short phrases and clauses connected with and, or, but or that, or not joined by conjunctions at all but simply spoken next to each other, with possibly a short pause between them usually about two seconds or about seven words long, or shorter. Luoma, 2004, Assessing Speaking
7 Look having nuclear / my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer / Dr John Trump / at MIT / good genes / very good genes / okay very smart / the Wharton School of Finance / very good / very smart / you know if you re a conservative Republican / if I were a liberal / if like okay / if I ran as a liberal Democrat / they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world / it s true / but when you're a conservative Republican they try / oh do they do a number...
