This project offers a novel, integrative approach on filled pauses, the elements ‘euh‘ and ‘euhm’ in Dutch. Insights on filled pauses from various research traditions are united to obtain a comprehensive overview of their form and function. Starting from a cognitive-interactional framework, our analysis relates formal variation in filled pauses to the functional variation. We show that formal differences in filled pauses, such as the ...

The rising need for a design to adhere to certain performance has introduced building performance simulation (BPS) into the design process. Early design decisions have the highest impact on building performance. Therefore, it is important to make good design decisions at this ...
