| Abstract |
This study compared the oral reading performances of stuttering and nonstuttering Japanese speakers with respect to (a) durations of V1, V2, and Q (geminate consonant) in the (C)V1QCV2 sequence in words, (b) V1/V2, Q/3S, Q/V1, and Q/V2 durational ratios, and (c) variability coefficients for V1, V2, and Q durations, and for V1/V2, Q/3S, Q/V1, and Q/V2 durational ratios. Results showed that the means of the duration of V2 and Q, and those of the variability coefficient for V1/V2, Q/3S, Q/V1, and Q/V2 durational ratios were significantly greater for the stuttering group than for the nonstuttering group. These findings are interpreted as reflecting covert markers of stuttering events (e.g., blocking) caused through asynchronous interactions between V1, Q, and V2 in the stuttering individuals’ aberrant timing system. Cette recherche a comparé les performances à l’oral de lecteurs japonais bègues et non-bègues pour ce qui est (a) de la durée de V1, V2 et Q (consonnes géminées) dans les séquences de mots (C) V1QCV2, (b) de V1/V2, Q/3S, Q/V1, et Q/V2 et (c) du rapport de durée pour V1, V2 et Q, et des coefficients de variabilité pour V1/V2, Q/3S, Q/V1 et Q/V2. Les résultats ont démontré que les moyennes de durée de V2 et Q et que les moyennes du coefficient de variabilité pour les rapports de durée V1/V2, Q/3S, Q/V1 et Q/V2 étaient considérablement plus longues pour le groupe bègue que pour le groupe non-bègue. Ces résultats semblent montrer qu’il existe des marqueurs du bégaiement ( i.e. blocage) associés aux interactions asynchrones entre V1, Q et V2 dans le système d’analyse temporelle des individus bègues. Ce système serait atypique chez ces individus. |
