OBS

On doit distinguer du bégaiement, le bredouillement et le bafouillage. Le bredouilleur, d'après E. Pichon et S. Borel-Maisonny, a une pensée convenablement formulée en langage, mais il veut l'exprimer trop vite, il demande trop à son clavier neurologique de réalisation. Il en arrive à écraser tout à fait les mots et les rendre méconnaissables.
