The aim of this research is to gain new knowledge about the cause of stuttering. The project is a collaboration between experts in stuttering in Australia and Hong Kong. Despite decades of study, the cause of stuttering is still not well understood. Research in English has suggested that changes in emphasis from syllable to syllable can trigger individual moments of stuttering. However, Cantonese is very different from English, being a tonal and syllabic language, and uncovering the linguistic triggers of stuttering in Cantonese will yield new insight into the complex causality of this disabling condition.

这项研究的目的是获得有关口吃原因的新知识。该项目是澳大利亚和香港口吃专家之间的合作。尽管经过了几十年的研究，口吃的原因仍然没有得到很好的理解。对英语的研究表明，音节之间重音的变化会引发个别的口吃。然而，粤语与英语有很大的不同，粤语是一种音调和音节的语言，揭示粤语口吃的语言触发因素将对这种致残状况的复杂因果关系产生新的见解。
