Dear Joseph, what a coincidence that you responded while I was talking to my Ugandan foster son Edwin Ekiring (the badminton-player) and asked him the swahili word for cluttering. He did not know it. To answer your question about the differences between cluttering and stuttering there are a lot, to name a few: - cluttering tends to worsen in relaxed situation where stuttering tends to worsen in a tensed situations - persons with cluttering are unaware of the moments of disfluencies at the moment they occur while persons who stutter are aware of it. - persons who stutter break up the entity of a word: i-i-intereting - PWC usually do not experience secondary behavior like looking away, tong protrusion etc. I hope to hear from you soon. warm regards Yvonne
