Kigugumizi

Sanamu ya Demosthenes (iko British Museum, London, Uingereza), mhubiri marufu wa Ugiriki wa kale aliyepambana na kigugumizi chake kwa kusema akiwa na mawe kinywani.

Kigugumizi (kutoka kitenzi "kugugumia", kwa Kiingereza: "stuttering" au "stammering" ni shida ya baadhi ya watu katika kusema: wanakadiriwa kuwa 5-6% za watoto na 1% za watu wazima. Wanaume wanapatwa mara 4 kuliko wanawake. Kwa kawaida shida inaanza katika umri wa miaka 2-6. Mhusika anajua la kusema, lakini maneno yanamtoka tofauti, kwa mfano kuna:

• marudio ya fonimu, sehemu ya maneno au sentensi
• mkwamo kabla ya maneno fulanifulani
• urefushaji wa sauti (hhhhhhhhhham badala ya ham)
• kusimama
• kusema kitu tofauti na kilichokusudiwa
• kusita au kuhangaika ili kusema kitu
• misuli kukazwa usoni au shingoni

Matatizo hayo yanaweza yakamuathiri sana mtu hata kumzuia asipate marafiki au asikabili mazingira fulanifulani, bali azidi kujifungia.

Kati ya watu maarufu wenye shida hiyo kuna:

• Demosthenes
• Musa
• Isaac Newton
• Gareth Gates
• Notker Balbulus
• Scatman John
• Winston Churchill
• Mfalme George VI
• Bruce Willis
• Ozzy Osbourne
• Tiger Woods
• Mel Tillis
