Hi Louise, Although I didn't understand some of the more technical stuff in your paper, I found it fascinating. I have often been hesitant to discuss this phenomenon with people, even fellow stutterers. I have often found myself having a kind of negative conversation with myself during my most severe stuttering blocks. It is as if I am giving myself a "lecture" for being unable to get out a word or sound. Sometimes, it is as if I am analyzing my blocks as they are ocurring. It is pretty disturbing. I think that this fits in with what you have described in your paper. Now, if I can only put in some positive vibes instead of negative ones, I might have something here. :-) Great paper. I enjoyed it.
