stuttering
definition: Stuttering is a communication disorder in which the flow of speech is broken by repetitions (t-t-t-t-today), prolongations (rrrrrrestaurant), blocks (silent or audible pauses in speech), or circumlocutions (word substitutions to avoiding stuttering on certain words). Everyone is disfluent at times and may have repetitions and prolongations at times. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Stuttering]
