Hi Heather! Yes, in fact. One of my students has just finished a study in which she looked at the relationship between stuttering loci and tone in Mandarin. She found that stuttering is more likely to occur on syllables produced with tones 3 and 4, and compared Mandarin tone to linguistic stress in English (which we know has a relationship to stuttering). I will ask her to post her findings more specifically.
