Stuttering includes both within-word and between-word disfluencies

Summary

A new definition for stuttering, distinguishing between "within-word" and "between-word" disfluencies, lacks sufficient evidence. While a weaker form may be useful, it requires further validation for accurate stuttering measurement.

Area of Science:

  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Linguistics
  • Psycholinguistics

Background:

  • A common practice distinguishes stuttered from normal disfluencies using a "within-word" versus "between-word" distinction.
  • This classification is increasingly used in the definition and measurement of stuttering.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate the logical and empirical support for the "within-word"/"between-word" definition of stuttering.
  • To assess the viability of this definition for clinical and research applications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing logical arguments and empirical data related to disfluency classification.
  • Analysis of the implications of strong and weak forms of the proposed definition.

Main Results:

  • The strong form of the definition, which posits that all "within-word" disfluencies are stuttering and no "between-word" disfluencies are, is not supported by current evidence.
  • The proposed dichotomy may not fully capture the complexity of stuttered speech.

Conclusions:

  • The strong "within-word"/"between-word" definition of stuttering is currently unsubstantiated.
  • A weaker form of this definition might be valuable for stuttering definition and measurement, provided it demonstrates internal consistency and aligns with clinical and empirical findings.
