What is it called when you say “um” a lot while giving a speech. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Speech is human voice communication that employs language. Each language employs phonetic combinations of vowel and consonant sounds to generate the sound of its words, and those words are stored in a language's lexicon according to the syntactic constraints that regulate lexical words' function in a sentence. Speakers conduct a variety of deliberate speech actions, such as informing, asserting, inquiring, persuading, and guiding, and can transmit meaning through enunciation, intonation, degrees of loudness, pace, and other non-representational or paralinguistic characteristics of vocalisation. Even though people usually use speech to connect with different people, when they promise, those who do not always mean to interact any information to anyone, and sometimes, in expressing urgent emotions or desires, they use speech as a quasi-magical cause, such as when they encourage or warn a game player to do or not do something. There are certainly several instances where people engage in solo conversation.
