Jąkanie - zaburzeniem kognitywno-lingwistycznym

Abstract

The author makes results of studies on language development by C.E. Hamre (1984) a starting-point of his own considerations to the sphere of normal fluent speech development as opposed to stutter (non-fluent) speech development. Definitions of both language and stutter taking from eleven different conceptual language models were compared, e.g. 1) the behavioural model: stutter is classically and/or instrumentally conditioned behaviour; 2) the pragmatic model: stutter differs in communicative features from fluent speech; 3) the cognitive model: stutter reflects wrong functioning of cognitive processes; 4) the linguistic (structural) model: stutter is limited using of phonological and prosodic rules; 5) the neurological model: stutter reflects occasional inability to process language rules and/or requirements of performance. The sociological, general, semantic (logic), psychoanalytical, statistical, and cybernetic models of language were also discussed. Results of experimental studies are (and will be) used in speech therapy through facilitation of diagnosis and prognosis. They may also be of some advice to conduct therapy.
