Bilingualism and stuttering in children - 2013.


23

Already at the beginning of the previous century, bilingualism was often—undeservedly—seen as a threat to the language development of the young child. This article addresses the question of whether bilingualism implies a greater risk of childhood stuttering. Although this question has both clinical and theoretical relevance, literature on the topic remains scarce to this day. This text summarizes the main research findings around three central questions. The first question is whether the prevalence of stuttering is higher for bilingual subjects. The second question is the extent to which findings about stuttering in bilinguals can be reconciled with recent theoretical advances concerning the cognitive basis of bilingualism. The third question is how stuttering affects the different languages of the bilingual child and how much of a role psycholinguistic variables such as language proficiency play in the disorder.
