Anyone have accents due to their stutter?
Content
Anyone have accents due to their stutter? Many of us know it’s quite unusual for us to recognize fluency when we put on an accent. For me, I’ve done that unintentionally… and now, my accent shifts so much. It’s partly due to code switching (as I grew up in a multicultural community), and partly due to my stutter. I find myself talking with accents all the time - I just find it weird. By accents, I mean certain linguistic features of that accent. Like, I have trouble with the both TH sounds like in “there” and “think”. So, I always pronounce it as “der” and “tink”. Very weird. Do others also have such a unique idiolect influenced by their stutter?
