Abstract

Phonological Encoding in Children who Stutter

Highlights

  • Peters and Starkweather believed that stuttering is associated with a lack of balance between the linguistic and motoric systems involved in speech production [1]

  • A significant difference was found between Children who stutter (CWS) and Children who do not stutter (CNS) groups in the speed of monitoring the target phoneme occurring in initial position (t(66)=3.81; p

  • In initial (t(66)=4.64; p

Summary

Introduction

Peters and Starkweather believed that stuttering is associated with a lack of balance between the linguistic and motoric systems involved in speech production [1]. The literature states that Stuttering is considered as disorder of language development and this fact was emphasized by Bloodstein [2] These conceptions inspired the researchers to comprehensively investigate the association between stuttering frequency and various linguistic variables. It has been proposed that phonological encoding involves three components [9] Generation of segments that constitutes words [3], Integration of sound segments with word frames and [10] Assignment of appropriate syllable stress Levelt [8] This phonological encoding process serves as an interface between lexical processes and speech motor production Levelt [8]; Levelt, Roelofs et al [11] and is significant for incremental speech planning and production. According to Gestural linguistic model Browman & Goldstein [12]; Saltzman & Munhall [13], the phonological encoding process is closely associated with speech motor production
