What is a Lisp?

Question

how is it prevented? how is it developed?

Answer 1

Lisp is a speech defect consisting in pronouncing s and z like or nearly like the th-sounds of thin and this, respectively. It's any unconventional articulation of the sibilants, as the pronunciation of s and z with the tongue between the teeth (lingual protrusion lisp), close to or touching the upper front teeth (dental lisp), or raised so that the breath is emitted laterally (lateral lisp).

Answer 2

Lisp is a disability that certain people have, they can't say letters like "s", and "z" and when they try saying these letters they come out as "th". It isn't inherited it is developed when one isnt told how to talk properly. The person who made up the word lisp must have been quite stupid as a person with lisp can't even say lisp, lithp!

Answer 3

a lisp is a speech impediment charachterized by difficulty pronouncing the 's' sound. speech therapy at a very early age can usually solve this problem.

Answer 4

a lisp is when someones tongue goes through their front teeth when they talk. for people with a lisp, its hard to pronounce "th" and "s" sounds.

Answer 5

it is where you can't say some words right.My little brother Conner has one when he tries to say s and c.When he says s he says some like eth and when he says c he says something like thee.I don't know if you can prevent it for sure but you can take a speech class and stuff like that.I have no clue how its developed though.

Answer 6
