The linguistic and speech therapy’s studies see the stuttering as a manifestation of something that happens in the body plan, well meaning as muscle tension, sometimes as breathing, speech production, or even genetic formation, as a subject, therefore, with a “disease”. When scrolling the theoretical discussions about stuttering, we threw up a new look at it from the discursive perspective with possibilities with the same therapeutic approach. From the theory and analytical device of Discourse Analysis from French line, founded by Pêcheux and developed by Orlandi and followers, we intended to analyze the subject who is seen in interdiscourse crystallized by society as subject- -stutter: one who is carrying a disease, inserted into discursive and ideological formations that make him more stutter. We operated discursive clippings of two stuttering-subjects who participated of speech therapy, seen in a longitudinal way. Considering the regularity of the operation of speech and anchoring the analysis in interdiscursivity, i.e., the mechanisms of formation of senses, we identified some discursive formations materialized in the discourse of the analyzed subject and represent theoretical and therapeutic possibilities for the study of stuttering. We affirmed stuttering as a disorder of language, directly related to production conditions, indicating therapeutic possibility in the same perspective. The discursive analysis performed showed apparent change in position of stutterer-subject to fluent-subject.
