stuttering: between-word
disfluencies
Listeners make perceptual judgments of disfluency
and stuttering, and sometimes it is helpful to determine whether disfluencies
occur within words or
between
words. Within word disfluencies such as sound or syllable
repetitions, prolongations, disrhythmic
phonations and tense pauses
are more apt to be considered "stuttered" and represent a greater
danger sign than disfluencies that occur in between words such as interjections,
revisions, phrase repetitions and multisyllabic
whole-word repetitions.*
