The repeating of a sound, syllable, word or phrase. Some
clinicians differentiate between repetitions which are vocalized (l-l-lit) and nonvocalized
(f-f-fit), and whether the syllable is correctly co-articulated
(base-base-baseball) or contains the schwa vowel
(buh-buh-baseball). Word
repetitions may be of single syllable whole words (he-he-he has it) or words of
more than one syllable ("David-David-David has it.")*
