Abstract

Wilkinson and Morris analyse how stammering impacts on the speaker’s ability to produce their utterances on the telephone with a non-stammering interlocutor. They note that stammering results in speakers being unable to fulfil one of the main expectations of producing an utterance in a conversation—that it progress to its end point in a smooth and undisrupted manner. They then show how this utterance feature regularly has the consequence that the other interlocutor starts to talk before the speaker with a stammer has completed their turn. The analysis highlights some key problems faced by people who stammer on the telephone as well as exploring how they can employ strategies in an attempt to make these problems less likely to occur.
