Abstract:This study investigates silence gaps in two kinds of audiovisual material. We analysed thirty US situational comedies and fifty-one synthetic podcasts generated with Google NotebookLM. Gaps were compared across speaker gender, assigned from a fundamental-frequency threshold estimated in Praat, and across production settings.
