I came here because of the way the locals, the Kuuk Thaayorre, talk about space. Instead of words like "right," "left," "forward," and "back," which,

trend, if not copycats – second or third hand brains – they are a bunch of boring speakers, talking in a language so abstract that it’s impossible for normal people to decode it, including us. I’m also fed up with those innocent lambs around here, who first have to wait for the articles about Chile or South America published by the BBC or other foreign media channels – ideally written in a language other than Spanish – to wake up and speak aloud: “Yes, they are right, that´s wrong.

This is a problem in a society that is highly social and is run by communication through language.

The judges were made up of 14 people who stutter, 14 SLPs (Speech Language Pathologists) and 14 naïve listeners. A 9-point scale was used to rate the naturalness of speakers who do and do not stutter. The three judging groups varied greatly in how severely they judged the speech samples.
