Language sample analysis of conversation samples from school-age children who stutter: The role of syntactic factors in stuttering

CONCLUSIONS: Findings from the IPsyn and the use of elaborate noun phrases, and to some extent verb phrases, suggested that the CWS used more complex syntax even in shorter conversational samples. More stuttered sentences in the high DSS sentence category, the use of fewer phrase revisions, and the association between stuttering and elaborated verb phrases in the CWS are interpreted to suggest the effects of syntactic planning and reformulation demands on fluency during ongoing articulation.PMID:37699262 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106369
