Are there any reports or descriptions of word-final dysfluencies?
There are a number of reports or descriptions of word-final dysfluencies in the literature. Some of these studies deal with word-final dysfluencies in neurogenic stuttering (i.e. stuttering following damage to the nervous system), and some of these studies concern patients with dysfluencies of developmental origin. Word-Final Dysfluencies in Neurogenic Stuttering Canter (1971) identified final repetitions and prolongations as features that distinguish neurogenic stuttering from developmental stuttering. Several authors have agreed with Canter s view (Market et al., 1990, Rosenfield et.al., 1991, Helm-Estabrooks, 1993). However, only a very small number of studies have documented final repetitions and prolongations in cases of neurogenic stuttering. The small number of studies suggests that word-final repetitions may be less common in this population than is sometimes thought. Table 1 summarizes these case reports. Table 1.
