dc_filled_pause(text.var, grouping.var, n.before = 1, tot = FALSE,
  n.after = n.before, ord.inds = TRUE, markup = c("<<", ">>"),
  name = "filled_pause", ...)

`text.var`	The text variable.
`grouping.var`	The grouping variables. Also takes a single grouping variable or a list of 1 or more grouping variables.
`n.before`	The number of rows before the indexed occurrence.
`tot`	logical. If `TRUE` condenses sub-units (e.g., sentences) into turns of talk for that `grouping.var`.
`n.after`	The number of rows after the indexed occurrence.
`ord.inds`	logical. If `TRUE` inds is ordered least to greatest.
`markup`	A character vector of length two indicating the left (element 1) and right (element 2) boundary markers to use to highlight the filled pause discourse connectors. Use `c("", "")` to not mark the filled pause discourse markers.
`name`	A string indicating the name to search for within the internal data sets, typically the function's name. Generally, for internal use.
`...`	Other arguments passed to `termco`.

Returns returns a list of 2:

`counts`	A `termco` object of filled pause discourse marker counts.
`filled_pause`	A `trans_context` object of filled pause discourse connectors in context.
