“…Other than PWC, there are also persons who produce similarly fast speech, but do not produce more disfluencies than typical speakers: they are persons who exhibit exceptionally rapid speech (ERS) (Bakker et al, 2011;Bóna, 2016). Bakker et al (2011, p. 47) define ERS as speech occurring faster than normal, but which does not show 'specific clinically significant characteristics of speech fluency'.…”

Cluttering is a fluency disorder which can be characterised by excessive disfluencies. However, the low number of studies dealing with the analysis of disfluencies in cluttering show contradictory results. The aim of this article is to analyse disfluency clusters in cluttered, fast and typical speech. Frequency of all disfluency clusters and those complex disfluencies which contain more than two constituents were analysed. The number and types of the constituents of complex disfluencies and the reason of their occurrence were analysed in detail. Results show that complex disfluencies occurred the most frequently in cluttered speech, and the least frequently in exceptionally rapid speech (ERS). Persons who clutter (PWC) had more and much longer complex disfluencies than typical speakers. Complex disfluencies which suggest difficulties in linguistic formulation occurred in cluttering significantly more times than in typical speech. The results bring us closer to understanding why there are perceptually more disfluencies in cluttered speech than in typical one. In addition, they also seem to strengthen the notion that cluttering is a language disorder.

“…Further, Garnett and St. Louis (2010) also reported twice as many disfluencies in PWC's speech than in the speech of typical speakers. Several studies, however, found no significant differences between PWC and typical speakers in the frequency of all disfluencies (Bakker et al, 2011;Myers et al, 2012;Bóna, 2016Bóna, , 2018. Contradictory results might emerge due to the small number of participants and large individual characteristics.…”

People with cluttering (PWC) often receive feedback, such as "Slow down!", even so, this fluency disorder cannot be cured by only slowing down the speakers' speech rate. When PWC accelerate their speech rate, language planning difficulties and word structure errors might occur, which might result in breakdowns in fluency and/or intelligibility. In the present paper characteristics of the frequency of disfluencies were examined in four different speech tasks from deliberately slow to maximum speech rate, whether speech rate changes have effects on cluttered speech. Twenty participants of this investigation were individuals suspected of cluttering with ages between 20 and 50 years of both genders. The results show that PWC are able to change, not only their speech rate but articulatory rate as well. Moreover, disfluencies were produced the most frequently in the speech task of maximum speech rate, where PWC do not have enough time for speech planning. The research provides empirical, measured data for a better insight into the nature of cluttering. Understanding the correlation between speech rate and disfluencies in cluttered speech is fundamental to improve the diagnosis of cluttering.

This year, as before, we have many different approaches to disfluencies. Papers are presented in the field of both fundamental and applied research. A special feature of the 2019 event is the co-located special day focusing on (dis)fluencies in children's speech. The organizers would like to extend their thanks to everyone who helped organize this event, including the Scientific Committee members and, of course, all the contributors. Thanks to ISCA for administrative support.
