This study was designed to determine whether preschool nonstutterers tend to be disfluent on words that begin with consonants or on words that begin with vowels and whether they tend to be disfluent on long or on short words. Analyses of the spontaneous speech of 10 four-year-old boys sampled both in their nursery school classroom and in an interview situation indicated that initial phoneme exerted no influence on the distribution of their speech disfluencies. Word length, however, exerted an influence in the interview situation where the children tended to be disfluent on monosyllabic words. These data raise questions with respect to the applicability of Bloodstein's (1974) model of the development of stuttering to the disfluency behavior of nonstutterers.
本研究旨在确定学龄前非口吃儿童在以辅音开头的单词或以元音开头的单词上是否更容易出现言语不流畅，以及他们在长单词或短单词上是否更容易出现言语不流畅。对10名四岁男孩在幼儿园教室和访谈情境中采集的自发言语进行分析，结果表明首音素对他们言语不流畅的分布没有影响。然而，在访谈情境中，单词长度产生了影响，孩子们在单音节词上往往更容易出现言语不流畅。这些数据对布洛德斯坦（1974）口吃发展模型应用于非口吃者的言语不流畅行为提出了质疑。
