Popis: | The case is reported of a bilingual (Dutch English) speaking woman who started to stutter after a whiplash trauma. Although the pattern of dysfluency was quite similar in both languages (more dysfluencies in propositional speech than in non-propositional speech; function words and monosyllabic words more affected than content words and polysyllabic words, respectively), stuttering severity differed significantly. The patient had more dysfluencies in her native language. Contrary to what is commonly seen in bilinguals with developmental stuttering, language proficiency was apparently not a determining factor for stuttering severity. |
