- Abstract
- (en) Already at the beginning of the previous century, bilingualism was often—undeservedly—seen as a threat to the language development of the young child. This article addresses the question whether bilingualism involves a greater risk for child stuttering. Although this question has both clinical and theoretical relevance, the litterature about the topic remains scarce to this day. This text summarizes the main research findings around three central questions. The first question is whether the prevalence of stuttering is higher for bilinguals. The second question evaluates to which extent the recent findings about stuttering in bilinguals can be reconciled with the recent theoretical advances around the cognitive basis of bilingualism. The third question relates to how stuttering affects the different languages of the bilingual child and to the psycholinguistic variables, such as language proficiency, that play a role.
