Let me be more concrete. You talk about eight different types of dysfluencies. I am wondering which types are most frequent across all samples and all people. (Actually I am also interested in adults). Let's assume part-word repetition and injections are the highest. My question is: why are these the more frequent? More abstractly, there is a distribution of relative frequency of types of dysfluencies, and I would like to know why this specific distribution.
