contents Patterns of Stuttering Comparing two Languages: A Case Report Janeth Hernández-Jaramillo Katherine Velásquez Gómez Salud Stuttering bilingualism lexical frequency syllable frequency In bilinguals, specific patterns of stuttering in each one of the languages may be different. This study reports on the case of a bilingual adult who speaks Spanish and English simultaneously and whose dominant language is Spanish. Speech and language testing was performed in both languages. The samples chosen for the analysis of speech corpus were: spontaneous speech, description of the picture and reading. Some differences in the stuttering distribution were found. Of the disfluent instants, 61.39 % of the total was presented in English and the other remaining 38.61 % in Spanish. In both languages, stuttering by word type was more frequent in function words (i.e. prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions, particles and infinitive forms) than in content words (i.e. verbs, nouns, adjectives). As observed, dysfluency types were similar in Spanish and English, with the greatest percentage being word repetition, followed by phonemic prolongations. These were more frequent in English than in Spanish. Although it is possible to find similarities in the stuttering pattern suggesting general stuttering laws, differences associated not only with language-specific idiosyncrasies but also with the individual’s bilingualism characteristics were also found. 2015 artículo científico 1692-7273 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56242524010 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/562/56242524010/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/562/56242524010/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/562/56242524010/56242524010.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/562/56242524010/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=562 Revista Ciencias de la Salud application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Revista Ciencias de la Salud (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.13
