We don't think in language. As I'm typing this I am, but this is a different process. Well two processes. And I'm stuttering. I am stopping, choosing words, and attempting to articulate. So we visualize what we want to say, form the language, then physically speak. There are lots that can go 'wrong'. For instance, my mind will go 8 different directions - anticipating feedback, listening to myself, etc and I trip over my own feet.
Thought to speech is three ( or more; if you have a disability, you need to access work arounds) processes. Stutterers are often told to slow down. Your brain has to put a thought into words, then use your mouth.
Kids often stutter because the brain develops at certain rates. But I would say everyone has a 'stutter' because this is a relatively new evolutionary process. This has pretty profound implications. Gladwell doesn't get a lot of love, but he sort of hits a nail on the head when he talks about why Asians may be better at math. In English, six and 6 are the same but still are two different languages. Kids have to learn to identify both. He says Asians have no conversion, so more time is spent on function than translation. Speech has the same 'conversion' process.
