A significant proportion of the global population is multilingual. Nonetheless, the majority of published studies on fluency disorders have focused on monolinguals, with limited attention on multilingual speakers who stutter or clutter, raising questions about the generalizability of findings. Exploring the characteristics of multilinguals who stutter or clutter could improve our understanding of the relationship between multilingualism and fluency disorders and provide novel directions for research and practice. This special issue aims to offer insights into stuttering and cluttering within a multilingual context.
We encourage articles focused on the profile of multilingual speakers who stutter or clutter, as well as research that can improve our understanding, diagnosis, and treatment (including linguistically and culturally responsive practices, and stutter-affirming therapy) for this population. The special issue is open to papers related to theory and practice, and studies on monolinguals who stutter or clutter and typically fluent bilinguals which could help establish the relationship between multilingualism and fluency disorders. Original research, null findings, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are welcomed.
