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.
