Nella puntata di oggi esploriamo la balbuzie dal punto di vista linguistico, andando oltre la definizione comune di 'disturbo della pronuncia', per capire se riguarda solo la difficoltà di pronunciare suoni o se nasconde qualcosa di più complesso.
Analizzeremo cause, manifestazioni e impatto emotivo, riflettendo su come le ricerche attuali stiano rivelando aspetti nuovi e sorprendenti, anche nelle lingue dei segni, e sulle condizioni in cui la balbuzie può ridursi o scomparire.
