Matsumoto-Shimamori, Ito, Fukuda, & Fukuda (2011) proposed the hypothesis that in Japanese, the transition from the core vowels (i.e. syllable nucleus) of the first syllables of words to the following segments affected the occurrence of stuttering. Moreover, in this transition position, an inter-syllabic transition precipitated more stuttering than an intra-syllabic one (Shimamori & Ito, 2007, 2008). However, these studies have only used word production tasks. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the same results could be obtained in sentence production tasks. Participants were 28 Japanese school-age children who stutter, ranging in age from 7;3 to 12;7. The frequency of stuttering on words with an inter-syllabic transition was significantly higher than on those having an intra-syllabic transition, not only in isolated words but in the first words of sentences. These results suggested that Matsumoto et al.'s hypothesis could be applicable to the results of sentence production tasks.
松本-岛森、伊藤、福田和福田（2011年）提出了一个假设，即在日语中，单词第一个音节的核心元音（即音节核）向后续音段的过渡会影响口吃的发生。此外，在这个过渡位置，音节间的过渡比音节内的过渡更容易引发口吃（岛森和伊藤，2007年、2008年）。然而，这些研究仅使用了单词生成任务。本研究的目的是调查在句子生成任务中是否能得到相同的结果。研究参与者为28名日本学龄口吃儿童，年龄在7岁3个月至12岁7个月之间。不仅在孤立单词中，而且在句子的第一个单词中，音节间过渡单词的口吃频率显著高于音节内过渡单词。这些结果表明，松本等人的假设可能适用于句子生成任务的结果。
