Dra. Anelise, The assertion that stuttering is a language disorder is in clear contradiction with recent findings showing that the brain of people who stutter works differently even in tasks unrelated to language. The study below, for example, demonstrates this contradiction: Right-shift motor for non-speech processing in adults who stutter: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010945210001796 Can you continue defending your thesis ("stuttering is a language disorder") even with this evidence to confront it? Thanks, Philip Lieberman IINN-ELS, Natal, Brazil
