567 Words3 Pages

In conversation it can be difficult to be the listener with a speaker who is a stutterer. The listener may feel extra pressure or confusion as to how he or she should respond or act in a moment where the speaker has become dysfluent. The stutterer can recognize this level of discomfort and begins to for negative emotions about his or her self. Healey (2010) believes the following emotions may manifest, “From the perspective of individuals who stutter, it is not uncommon to hear them report they are fearful of a listener’s negative reactions, being made fun of, looking foolish, or appearing unintelligent (p. 227). It is important for people who stutter (PWS) to recognize that not every listener or audience will formulate negative opinions. …show more content…

More recent research has since contradicted this. Panico and Healey (2009) found that listeners comprehended and recalled messages with the presence of a mild stutter, and break down occurred with a more severe stutterer. Question 3: What are children’s reactions to stuttering? Research in general confirms that children as young as three years of age portrayed negative responses to PWS. Children were also judged to react negatively to their peers who stuttered as well. These findings are very similar and display the same pattern as adults reacting to their stuttering peers. Question 4: How do listeners react to strategies plus use in stuttering therapy programs? As clinicians we are taught to provide our patients with different compensatory strategies to aid in improving their deficits. Previous studies have found that listeners felt more negatively toward a dysfluent speaker who utilized pull-outs and cancellations. Listeners felt more positive about a speaker who addressed his or her deficits and spoke

  • A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Four Basic Chords On The Ukulele

    I believe that these two words were said very often due to my focus on not filling the gap with the word “um” or “uh”. In turn, focusing on not saying those words left me saying other filler words. Speaking slower and slowing down my hand movements would help me focus on the content of the speech and not worry about filling spaces with sound. I believe that if I worked on those setbacks, I would perform much better in front of an audience. The performance of a speech is highly important; altogether I think I performed quite well for one of the first speeches in my college career, and to say the least, there is always room for

    Noah Marshall Dr. Ted Shear PHIL 2490 May 09, 2023 Response To “Slurring Words” In The article “Slurring Words” Luvell Anderson and Ernie Lepore challenge several content-based accounts of slurs that have been proposed in recent years. They argue that slurs are best understood as prohibited words that are offensive to those whom the prohibition matters. In defense of their position, I will try to explain why it provides a compelling explanation of the phenomenon of slurring in modern language. Before delving into the details of Anderson and Lepore’s argument, it’s necessary to define what we mean by “slurs.”

    Being able to work with both children and adults has allowed me to broaden my view of what the field of speech language pathology will consist of. During my freshman year, in the spring semester of 2014, I was able to volunteer in Marquette’s clinic and take data for an SLP graduate student who was working with an adult with an intellectual disability. This experience allowed me to broaden my basic knowledge of the field of speech-language pathology. Also this past fall semester of 2016, I was able to work with an SLP graduate student in Marquette’s clinic, where we provided therapy to a preschool-aged client. We worked together in creating activities to target his speech language disorder, using both hybrid and clinician-directed approaches throughout the semester.

    Albeit all different, most have one thing in common, echolalia. As a student of the masters program I hope to research ways I can better understand the reason behind it and what intervention methods are best. My goal in research is to support my clients in achieving a more spontaneous and intentional way of communication. Throughout my practice, I have struggled with where to praise a direct imitation when a child gains their first few words to a growing concern when it takes the form of a more gestalt language process. In addition to echolalia research, I hope to contribute to the neurodiverse population with more research on ways for therapists to provide affirming and strengths based therapy.

  • The Effects Of Linguistic Insecurity In Communication

    1083 Words  | 5 Pages

    Introduction Social factors such as class, gender and age strongly dictate one’s behavioural norms, by associating themselves with the people whom they are closest to (Chambers 1995: p.7). Social factors can either determine or impose particular attitudes about certain social groups which evoke positive or negative attitudes, such as language prestige and stigmatization. Linguistic insecurity can act as a catalyst to motivate sound change and can be a defining factor for a speech community (Labov 1972: p. 132) Furthermore, the effects of linguistic insecurity can have a detrimental impact on language use to a degree that it becomes a disrupting force of a conversation or result in hypercorrections in speech (Baron 1976: 1).
