The carrier provides a form of conversational punctuation, alerting those listening to the transmission that the person continues to form a thought which is about to be expressed.
This is an excellent point. On SSB that "silent conversational punctuation" can be interpreted as "an invitation to transmit". Or for the veteran SSB guys, they develop the annoying verbal "aaaaaaaaaah" between phrases to keep the transmitter going.
