Peer reviewedYaruss, J. Scott; Conture, Edward G. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1993
Sound/syllable repetitions of 13 young children who stutter were acoustically analyzed to identify differences in second formant (F2) transitions between the stuttered and nonstuttered portions of the words. Findings indicated no significant differences in the frequency of occurrence of missing or atypical F2 transitions for young children at…

Clause, syllable, and response latency characteristics of conversational utterances were assessed in 14 boys who stuttered and 14 normally fluent boys. Findings suggest that changes in the number of clausal constituents that must be constructed, stored, or coordinated within an utterance may influence the likelihood of speech errors and, hence,…

Results showed a significant coincidence of stutter events and syllabic stress peaks, particularly in polysyllabic words, though stuttering on the first three words of principal clauses appeared independent of syllabic…
