    <Paragraph position="0"> We presented a computational model of producing utterances incrementally so as not to make excessively long pauses. We presented the results of an anMysis of discourse structure and showed that speakers frequently use small information units and exploit the fine structure of discourse that contributes to the increlnentM production strategy. This model can utilize such a discourse structure to incrementally produce utterances according to pragmatic constraints. These were ewduated by an utterance simulation experiment.</Paragraph>
