Abstract
Two studies of syntactic complexity in relation to filled pause rates are described. In the first no relation between proportion of subordinate clauses and FP rate is found. In the second it is found that FPs precede longer than average clauses. It is suggested that FPs reflect processes of syntactic organisation at the clause level, rather than the sentence level.
