“…Based on the distribution of stuttering moments recorded during speech tasks performed by people who stutter, it was suggested that the presence of one or more of the above-mentioned factors strongly infl uenced the likelihood of stuttering on a word. These fi ndings have been replicated by several other researchers who have included factors such as word stress and word familiarity or word frequency as additional parameters that infl uence the loci and frequency of stuttering moments [3,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] .…”

“…The symptomatology of stuttering has been extensively investigated from a linguistic perspective whereby attempts have been made to ascertain factors that might predict the loci and frequency of stuttering moments [1][2][3] . Brown [4,5], Brown and Moren [6] and Johnson and Brown [7] were the fi rst to investigate the role of word Dayalu /Kalinowski /Stuart length, word position, initial sound and grammatical category on stuttering frequency.…”

Previous research has suggested that word meaning can influence the loci and frequency of stuttering moments. Based on this proposition, it was hypothesized that people who stutter will exhibit a larger proportion of stuttering moments on meaningful words when compared to nonmeaningful or nonsense words. In order to test this hypothesis, stuttering frequency was examined among 9 English-speaking adults who stutter as they read a total of 126 words that were either meaningful or nonmeaningful in nature. The results indicated that approximately 117% more stuttering moments were recorded on nonmeaningful words when compared to meaningful words and this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.01). These findings challenge the notion that word meaning can be considered as a reliable predictor of stuttering frequency.

“…Typically functioning systems are continuously cycling through stability and instability such that instabilities are required in order for changes in states (e.g., gestural configurations) to occur. Findings of greater determinism and greater stability in AWS may represent (intermittent) rigidity and overstability, which may be reflective of a compromised system-one that exhibits difficulty in, for example, transitioning between gestures (i.e., between onset and nucleus; Heyde, Scobbie, Lickley, & Drake, 2016;Wingate, 1988). This hypothesis would benefit from testing within a neurocomputational framework of stuttering.…”

,f,g Purpose: This study examined the impact of social-cognitive stress on sentence-level speech variability, determinism, and stability in adults who stutter (AWS) and adults who do not stutter (AWNS). We demonstrated that complementing the spatiotemporal index (STI) with recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) provides a novel approach to both assessing and interpreting speech variability in stuttering. Method: Twenty AWS and 21 AWNS repeated sentences in audience and nonaudience conditions while their lip movements were tracked. Across-sentence variability was assessed via the STI; within-sentence determinism and stability were assessed via RQA. Results: Compared with the AWNS, the AWS produced speech that was more variable across sentences and more deterministic and stable within sentences. Audience presence contributed to greater within-sentence determinism and stability in the AWS. A subset of AWS who were more susceptible to experiencing anxiety exhibited reduced across-sentence variability in the audience condition compared with the nonaudience condition.Conclusions: This study extends the assessment of speech variability in AWS and AWNS into the social-cognitive domain and demonstrates that the characterization of speech within sentences using RQA is complementary to the across-sentence STI measure. AWS seem to adopt a more restrictive, less flexible speaking approach in response to social-cognitive stress, which is presumably a strategy for maintaining observably fluent speech.

“…Here, 'typical fluency' means not so much perfectly smooth speech with no hesitations, repairs, repetitions etc., as speech that does not contain the blocks, repetitions and prolongations and the associated tensions and gestures that characterize stuttered speech. So a definition of 'fluency' in the context of stuttering may include phenomena like hesitations, repetitions and error repairs amongst 'fluent' behaviors (Wingate 1988), since these form part of typical non-stuttered speech. In analysis of speech in this field, a distinction is often made between 'stuttering-like disfluencies' (Yairi and Lickley, R. J.…”
