“…Drew Lynch's utterances are naturally produced showing how he is confident despite his fluency disorder as stuttering symptoms. In addition, the disfluencies of Drew Lynch as an adult stutterer show different characteristics to those found in the stuttering of preschool children (Seth & Maruthy 2019) and school-aged children who stutter (Sasisekaran & Weathers 2019).…”

Difficulties of producing speech sound in stutterers are indicated by the repetition, pause, prolongation, revision, and filled pause on the speaking. However, such difficulties do not hinder the communication as shown in the speech of a stand-up comedian named Drew Lynch. This study aims at exploring the types of fluency disorder identified in Lynch’s utterances on stage. This study uses the descriptive qualitative method employed through the process of observing, transcribing, describing, and analyzing his utterances in American Got Talent videos. The result shows Lynch produces all kinds of disfluency covering filled pause, phrase repetition, revision, multisyllabic whole-word repetition, monosyllabic whole-word repetition, repetition of individual sound or syllable, prolongation of sound, and block. The monosyllabic whole-word repetition is more dominant. The combination happens between revision with monosyllabic whole-word repetition, prolongation, or multisyllabic whole-word repetition. These findings confirm that in the context of stand-up comedy, the disfluencies in stuttering do not hamper the transfer of meaning.

“…Seth & Maruthi (2019) found that stuttering dominantly occurs in initial words with consonants rather than vowels. They also demonstrated a few phonological revisions in their speech (Sasisekaran & Weathers 2019). However, there is no evidence that stuttering risk increases in bilingual children (Choo & Smith, 2019).…”

“…A verbal response was marked as stuttered or fluent 2. Increased right frontal beta power during speech intention in severe stuttering irrespective of how many stuttering events occurred during the response (Sasisekaran & Weathers, 2019). Stuttering symptoms were defined as suggested by the SSI-4 (Riley, 2009).…”

“…Multiple occurrences of one single variable within the same pseudoword were counted as one event (Sasisekaran & Weathers, 2019;Yaruss, 1999). We excluded pseudowords and their pairs containing an error and stuttering event (AWS: 2.12 %, FC: 0.34%) from statistical analyses (Coalson & Byrd, 2017).…”

Objective: The neurophysiological correlates of the likely occurrence of a stuttering event are still unknown. This sensor-level EEG study investigated whether the transient formation, i.e. decrease in alpha and beta power, of the speech production network due to speech intention may lay open such neurophysiological marker. The modulation of alpha and beta power is associated with changes in the sensorimotor state indicating the maintenance or release from the current cognitive and/or sensorimotor state.Methods: We used time-frequency analyses to study alpha (8-13 Hz), low beta (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) and high beta (25 -30 Hz) power in 19 adults with developmental stuttering (AWS) and 19 fluent controls (FC) during speech intention. A cue-target reading paradigm separated preparatory activity of the speech production network during speech intention from language related processing.Results: During overt compared to covert speech intention, alpha and low beta power was reduced in both groups. A decrease in alpha and beta power relative to baseline emerged however only over posterior EEG sensors covering parietal regions, possibly indicating that the intention to read prevailed over the intention to speak. Further, prior to fluent speech, stuttering severity was associated positively with a significant increase in low beta power in EEG sensors covering left parietal, central and right temporal regions. This association was less pronounced prior to stuttered speech. No other differences emerged.Conclusion: Similar to fluent speakers, AWS show oscillatory activity modulations during the intention to speak overtly. However, in persons with more severe stuttering this task setup is overlaid with stronger beta power increase, possible implicating a stronger maintenance of the current sensorimotor state.2. Increased right frontal beta power during speech intention in severe stuttering
