Abstract

English

Stuttering is a disorder of speech production, characterised by physical disturbances that compromise fluency. Persistent developmental stuttering is a speech fluency disorder defined by its symptoms, where the underlying neurophysiological causes remain uncertain. This thesis examines the causes and hypothesises alternative, proscriptive diagnostic tools.
