Fixed effect Fillers Silent
Pauses
Repeats
  Intercept (base rate) −5.41*** −5.67*** −12.05***
Points of planning
  Beginning of utterance 2.43*** 0.78* −2.61*
  Beginning of phrase 1.10*** 0.36* −3.01***
  Beginning of repair 3.13*** 1.89*** none
Message-level difficulty
  New plot point 1.24*** 0.78*** −2.09**
Grammatical- or phonological-level difficulty
  Lexical frequency (function words) 0.20 3.35* 7.71
  First mention of word (function words) 0.70 0.72 −0.91
