Studies in stuttering as a prosodic disturbance.

G Bergmann

    Journal of Speech and Hearing Research
    |September 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Stuttering may be a prosodic disturbance, not just disfluencies. Stutterers struggle with speech timing and executing prosody, even when not actively stuttering.

    Area of Science:

    • Speech and Language Pathology
    • Phonetics
    • Neurolinguistics

    Background:

    • Stuttering is characterized by disfluencies.
    • Prosody, encompassing rhythm, stress, and intonation, plays a crucial role in speech production.
    • The relationship between stuttering and prosodic disturbances requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate prosodic features in adult male stutterers compared to nonstutterers.
    • To determine if stuttering is fundamentally a prosodic disturbance.

    Main Methods:

    • Two experiments were conducted.
    • Analysis of various prosodic aspects including pitch, sentence accent, and timing patterns.
    • Comparison of speech patterns between stutterers and nonstutterers.

    Main Results:

    • Stutterers exhibited normal pitch patterns and correct sentence accent placement but difficulty in execution.
    • Stuttering episodes predominantly occurred on stressed syllables.
    • A fixed speech timing pattern improved fluency in stutterers.
    • Increased variability in intervals between stressed syllables was observed in stutterers, even during fluent speech.

    Conclusions:

    • Stuttering is characterized by significant prosodic disturbances.
    • Disfluencies in stuttering are symptomatic of underlying prosodic processing difficulties.
    • Prosodic alterations are a key feature of stuttering, impacting speech fluency.
