PSYCHOLINGUISTICS STUDY ON STUTTERING IN 5TH SEMESTER ENGLISH EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OF UNUSA

Abstract

In conversation we may feel fluent in the way we deliver our speech especially in English language. Whereas, if we observe and analyse ourselves, we will find that in the middle of our speech we often have nerveousness when we are doing speech in a public place. At this point, there is a feeling of worry or doubt about our own inability both in the public or individuals. Therefore, we will experience a disturbance in speech patterns which makes it difficult for someone to speak fluently, so this condition is sometimes called language influence, that is called Stuttering. The study is qualitative. It is qualitative because analysing the spectacles on the use of stuttering that usually seem in S1 English Education Department students in the process of presentation. This journal is conducted in the field of psycholinguistic phenomena. The data will be analysed by using several theories like have been written in the introduction. Stuttering or someone do hesitating is a language fallacy in which there is trouble in the speech movement, avoiding an person from speaking efficiently (World Health Organization 2010; Iverach and Rapee, 2014). It is most commonly related with spontaneous repetition of speech which contain syllables, phrases and words (Carlson, 2013). From the explanation above, it can be concluded that out of the ten S1 English Education Department on the 5th semester students that we studied, ten of them made mistakes in pronunciation when presenting in front of the class.
