Well, stuttering is believed to be linked to emotional problems, or a problem in the brain...just wondering if that affects all language, or just verbal languages.

No, I don't believe the word "stutter" is an appropriate discription. While using sign language, a person may paused in search of a word. It's the same as a speaking person saying, "And, um."

I personally haven't witnessed any sign language stutterers, other than a few that paused to get their thoughts together before signing to me or others. Most of the time, when signing to me they had to sign slowly as I'm not a signer, but I know a few words & gestures & most of the sign language alphabet. Great question! Isn't it amazing how the mind works (or may not work in this case)?
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you & yours!

Interesting question and one, at first I considered stupid until I thought about it. I am not sure if that is the right word for it but I am sure, just like everyone, people make mistakes in signing. Have a star. A question that needs thinking about.

Probably not. It is hand gestures. They may make a mistake every once and a while, but they dont stutter.

I guess it's possible, if they have some kind of neuro thing going on, or the shakes from lots of caffeine or something like that. Or perhaps the DTs?

yes they do, the stuttering
is an alternative form of obsessive compulsive disorder when they throw the peace sign, they felt the need to also pick their nose simultaneously..

I don't think so, but maybe they get confused & don't sign correctly.
