Stuttering and bilingualism

the early history

Abstract

With the increase of bilingualism worldwide, speech language pathologists currently have a fair chance of being confronted one day with bilingual individuals who stutter. In line with this evolution, more and more studies are now being published dealing with stuttering and bilingualism. The relationship between stuttering and bilingualism is a topic, however, that has already received some interest for more than two centuries. The purpose of the present paper is document some of the early history of stuttering and bilingualism and as such reveal the roots of contemporary studies.
