stuttering: disrhythmic phonation
Disrhythmic phonation, identified only within words, is that kind of
phonation which disturbs or distorts the so-called normal
rhythm or flow of speech, and
may or may not be accompanied by tension. These occur within words, rather than
between
words, and may be attributable to a vocalized prolongation of sound, prolongations
that are audible but nonvocalized, or prolongations where there
are perceptible breaks in pitch or voicing. Disrhythmic
phonations may also
involve changes in accent or timing which are notably unusual, or have
improper stress.*
