Although commonly defined as a speech disorder, stuttering interacts with the language production system in important ways. Our purpose is to summarize research findings on linguistic variables that influence stuttering assessment and treatment.
Numerous topics are summarized. First, we review research that has examined linguistic features that increase stuttering frequency and influence where it occurs. Second, we tackle the question of whether or not persons who stutter exhibit subtle language differences or deficits. Next, we explore language factors that appear to influence recovery from early stuttering in children. The final topic discusses the unique challenges inherent in differentially diagnosing stuttering in bilingual children. Clinical implications for each topic are discussed.
The article concludes with a discussion of the unique differences in the integration of language and speech demands by people who stutter, when compared to people who are typically fluent, and their clinical ramifications.
尽管口吃通常被定义为一种言语障碍，但它与语言生成系统以重要方式相互作用。我们的目的是总结关于影响口吃评估和治疗的语言变量的研究结果。
总结了众多主题。首先，我们回顾了研究语言特征如何增加口吃频率以及影响口吃发生位置的研究。其次，我们探讨口吃者是否存在细微的语言差异或缺陷这一问题。接下来，我们探究似乎影响儿童早期口吃恢复的语言因素。最后一个主题讨论了对双语儿童进行口吃鉴别诊断所固有的独特挑战。对每个主题的临床意义进行了讨论。
文章最后讨论了口吃者与通常流利者相比，在整合语言和言语需求方面的独特差异及其临床影响。
