Record 1 2009-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nervous System

Speech so rapid, under pressure of excitement, that enunciation is indistinct, words are run together, and syllables are slighted or dropped out.

  • St. Vitus' dance of the voice

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux

DEF

Trouble du rythme de la parole: le langage est précipité, désordonné, entrecoupé d’arrêts, il est souvent incompréhensible.

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.
