What exactly is a Lisp?

LISP syntax

Answer 2

a lisp is a speech defect, when a person is unable to pronounce letters like S and instead pronounces it like TH for example

Answer 3

it is when you talk a little funny when your tonsles vibrate more than other ppls i think

Answer 4

A lisp is when someone has too much frenum under the tongue (that skin that connects to your tongue).

This causes the person to enunciate certain words, usually those with the letter S, incorrectly.  

Some people lack ridges behind their maxillary incisors (front teeth on top) and their tongue slips, and they find it difficult to pronounce words.

My youngest sister has an excessive amount of frenum under her tongue to where she is unable to stick out her tongue.

My nephew has no ridges on his palate.  

Answer 5

Answer 7

where u can't really pronounce your S's, and i sounds sorta like "th"

Answer 8

This is when you pronounce an "s" as a "th". Often small children do this and as they get older they grow out of it. A regional Spanish dialect, which I believe is known as "Castellano" uses a "th" sound in place of an "s" because a king long ago had trouble pronouncing the "s" properly and the common people adapted their speech so as not to offend him.  A more modern example of someone who speaks with a lisp is "Cindy" on the Brady Bunch.

Answer 9

a lisp is a form of speech impediment where the person cannot pronounce S sounds or the C with the right sound. instead the person would say something like "mith teacher. i mithunderthtood". instead of miss and misunderstood. just s and c make th sounds

             Your question has led my mind down the memory lane to my

              childhood days.My brother used to imitate a lisper from his

              class.This unfortunate boy used to read the following lines

              from a lesson with a lisp.

                      Manu is in the rice field. He wants to catch  birds.

              The way my brother used to imitate him,we used to have a

              hearty laugh.Dear friend,just the memory is quite amusing

              to me.------Thanks.

     P.S.Yes,the problem is also with the /c/  sound which

             is mentioned in one of the answers.But it is not given

             in the dictionary.
