本研究探讨了单词开头和结尾位置的双音频率是否会影响日本学龄口吃儿童 (CWS) 的口吃频率。参与者包括 21 名 CWS，年龄从 7 岁到 12 岁不等。根据初始和最终单词位置的双音节频率使用四种类型的三音节刺激词：高-高、高-低、低-高和低-低。结果表明，只有当最终位置较低时，初始位置的双摩频率才会影响口吃频率；而只有初始位置较低时，最终位置的双摩频率才会影响口吃频率。这些发现表明，口吃的发生并不独立地受到词首或词尾双音频率的影响。此外，低低单词的口吃频率高于其他类型的刺激。这些发现表明，口吃频率受到整个单词的双音节频率的影响。
The present study examined whether bi-mora frequency in the initial and final positions of words affects stuttering frequency in Japanese school-aged children who stutter (CWS). The participants consisted of 21 CWS, ranging in age from 7 to 12 years. Four types of three-morae stimulus words were used based on the bi-mora frequencies of the initial and final word positions: high-high, high-low, low-high, and low-low. Results indicated that bimora frequency in the initial position affected stuttering frequency only if the final position was low, and bi-mora frequency in the final position affected stuttering frequency only if the initial position was low. These findings suggest that the occurrence of stuttering is not independently affected by bi-mora frequency in the initial or final word positions. Additionally, stuttering frequency was higher for low-low words than for the other types of stimuli. These findings suggest that stuttering frequency is affected by the bi-mora frequency of an entire word.
