Sure, there's something neurological about it. And there's also something physiological about it. Or biological or psychological or social or... etc. I think we should best construe of stutter as a _capacity defect_, in that our capacity for speaking _in various phenomenal/existential* contexts_ is compromised. This means it's not as simple as pointing at any one situation, and any one alteration possible in it, and making our stutter all about that. It's a much more complex thing - if you ask me. - As I've commented on many previous occasions in here, I think it's important that we conceptualize our ailment in the proper way. We need to be thinking about ourselves not in terms of isolated mechanics, but rather as complex wholes, with complex history stretching out behind us. I think that enables us to better grasp the entirety of this phenomenon that's part of our particular lives. - --- *: I'm suggesting here that our angle on this needs to be from the _first-person perspective_, not simply pointing at a compartmentalized version of our bodily selves.
