“…Typical disfluencies, such as revisions, filled pauses, silent pauses, and phrase revisions, are seen in monolingual children during times of rapid language learning (Colburn & Mysak, 1982a, 1982b; Wexler, 1982; Yairi, 1981) and are correlated with language development and language growth in monolingual children (Rispoli et al, 2008; Tumanova et al, 2014). In bilingual children, it can be challenging to discern whether their disfluencies are due to language formulation or due to frank stuttering.…”

Although commonly defined as a speech disorder, stuttering interacts with the language production system in important ways. Our purpose is to summarize research findings on linguistic variables that influence stuttering assessment and treatment. Method and Results: Numerous topics are summarized. First, we review research that has examined linguistic features that increase stuttering frequency and influence where it occurs. Second, we tackle the question of whether or not persons who stutter exhibit subtle language differences or deficits. Next, we explore language factors that appear to influence recovery from early stuttering in children. The final topic discusses the unique challenges inherent in differentially diagnosing stuttering in bilingual children. Clinical implications for each topic are discussed. Discussion: The article concludes with a discussion of the unique differences in the integration of language and speech demands by people who stutter, when compared with people who are typically fluent, and their clinical ramifications.

Syntactic delay and pragmatic deviance in the language of fragile X males

1991

The expressive language of 19 fragile X [fra(X)] males with chronological ages between 5 and 36 years and Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scores between 21 and 79 was examined for syntactic as well as pragmatic proficiency. The production of deviant repetitive language was observed with this group, corroborating the results of an earlier study with a smaller sample of fra(X) males. In contrast, when 2 syntax scores, mean length of utterance (MLU), and Index of Productive Syntax (IPSyn) were derived from naturalistic language observations, the relation of complexity to length was observed to be very similar to the known relationship of these 2 facets of syntactic ability in normal preschoolers. These results, and the absence of correlations between syntactic scores and proportions of deviant repetitive language are consistent with the notion that the syntactic development of fra(X) males is typically delayed rather than deviant. For effective assessment and remediation of communicative problems associated with the syndrome to be developed, it is argued, language must be considered as a combination of competencies rather than as a unitary skill.
