The primary purpose of this study was to re-examine the influence of phonetic complexity on stuttering in young children through the use of the Word Complexity Measure (WCM). Parent-child conversations were transcribed for 14 children who stutter (mean age = 3 years, 7 months; SD = 11.20 months). Lexical and linguistic factors were accounted for during the analysis. Results indicate that phonetic complexity, as measured by WCM, did not exhibit a significant influence on the likelihood of stuttering. Findings support previous data that suggest stuttering in preschool-age children does not appear significantly related to phonetic complexity of the production.
本研究的主要目的是通过使用单词复杂度量表(WCM)重新审视语音复杂性对幼儿口吃的影响。对14名口吃儿童(平均年龄 = 3岁7个月;标准差 = 11.20个月)的亲子对话进行了转录。分析过程中考虑了词汇和语言因素。结果表明,以WCM衡量的语音复杂性对口吃可能性没有显著影响。研究结果支持了之前的数据,即学龄前儿童口吃似乎与发音的语音复杂性没有显著关系。
