Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stuttering is a communication disorder that affects the normal fluency and patterning of speech. It is characterized by frequent disruptions in the flow of speech, including repetitions of sounds, words, or phrases, prolongations of sounds, and blocks or silences where the speaker is unable to produce an intended sound. Echolalia refers to the repetition of words or phrases spoken by another person, while clanging refers to the use of words based on their sound rather than their meaning. Articulation disorder involves difficulty pronouncing certain sounds or words correctly.
