Stuttering in other Countries/Cultures
- "The University of Maryland is interested in receiving audio or video samples of individuals who stutter who speak a language other than English. Ideal samples would include samples from the same speaker speaking MORE than one language (for example, some speech in English and speech on a similar topic in German or French). If you are interested in contributing data to this cross-linguistic study of stuttering, please contact nratner@hesp.umd.edu for more information, a questionnaire and a participant consent form.
