- Bilinguality and stuttering:
-- Developmental stuttering between 3 and 6 years of age
-- Usually disappears one or two years later
-- Some older studies suggest a correlation between bilinguality and stuttering
-- Pichon and Borel-Maisonny (1937); Travis, Johnson and Shover (1937); Stern (1948); Karniol (1992)
-- Still highly controversial; further research needed
