[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 114530, member: 1991"] The disfluencies you describe sound a bit similar to the ones we see here. Sometimes these are just syllables, often whole words or phrases. And for us, it's clearly not going to go away as the brain matures - husband is over 50 now and he feels he's getting worse. The link to the article is complex. I first found the Q & A, then I dug around to find the article (it's actually on two separate links). Here's the article, Part I - [URL]http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad10/papers/sisskin10.html[/URL] The article, Part II - [URL]http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad10/papers/scott10.html[/URL] I sent it all to our Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), she said she knows these people and their work. I hope the articles and discussion give you some ideas. On the subject of a child using antonyms instead of the correct word - I'm still looking but here's what I've got so far: [URL]http://www.alphadictionary.com/goodword/word/antonym[/URL] A quote from there - "If you listen closely to how people speak, you will discover that a common speech error is the substitution of a word for its antonym, "It's too cold in hereI mean, hot." This suggests to linguists that one way that we retrieve words from our mental vocabulary is to look for semantic relations and antonymy ... is one of the relationships by which our brains organize words." I'll keep digging on this one, but again, without a short, simple description, it's hard to search for. Marg [/QUOTE]
