In a way, these are like loops eh? A word like ok or anyway after every 
other 
sentence would be sort of like a "glitch" loop. 
Rhythmic iterative patterns perform a linking function that are part of an 
individual's sense of flow. Partly it may be a fear of using pause/silence 
for 
emphasis, so the repeated words are there for continuity and sustaining 
the 
thought constructs as well as "holding the floor".

There is an artist who is using software to remove language from speech so 
that you can hear what is between the words : sighs, clicks, rumbles etc. 
These 
also appear in repetitive looping patterns. I don't have the url handy but 
it 
is called Language Removal Services and there are audio clips, a search at 
www.npr.org or google should bring it up.
