“Work with the entire iceberg.” The iceberg expression describes children’s suppression of their thoughts and feelings. We are not going to be changing fluency until we address their feelings and thoughts first. When most people discuss stuttering they are only referring to the motor movements involved in speech. When in reality, this is only the “tip of the icecberg.” Other components such as fear, shame, guilt, anxiety, hopelessness, isolation, and denial need to be address during therapy.…

Full ledged language is achieved by communicating and gaining experience with other humans. A study was done comparing parents of different social classes talking to their children and found that the wealthier the families were, the more they communicated with their kids. The psychologists, Betty Hart and Todd Risley Hart concluded: “With few exceptions, the more parents talked to their children, the faster the children’s vocabularies were growing and the higher the children’s I.Q. test scores…

William Lutz, Lutz introduces the readers to a language called doublespeak. According to Lutz doublespeak is, “the language that makes the bad seem good, the negative appear positive, the unpleasant appear attractive or at least seem tolerable” (Lutz, 337). The language of doublespeak is intended to deceive the truth and to miscommunicate.

Just condsider all of the right-handed gadgets, awkwardly designed desks, and cooking tools that fit comfortably only in your right hand. the "sinistral brain" of the lefty uses the right hemisphere of the brain more dominantly than the left side of the brain — just as right-handed people use the left side of the brain for everyday thought process.

There is also the example of Kanzi, the bonobo who learned a keyboard symbolic communication language after watching his mother being taught (Park 2015, p.282).
