Serendre Shutter in 2004 stated that it is a complicated mental processing which is happening entirely below the level of consciousness, so we're not aware of doing anything except when we hear ourselves saying something funny, and its all happening at such lighting speed that we're not aware of any time these steps are taking.

Victoria Fromkin Said that Slips of the tongue are often the result of a sound being carried over from one word to the next. Although the slips are mostly treated as errors of articulation, it has been suggested that they may result from slips of the brain as it tries to organize linguistic messages.

One of researcher named Yule and he come out his conception and he believes that when brain and tongue deny to work in accordance slips of tongue occur. Since our whole linguistics knowledge is stored in our mind he calls it the SLIPS OF BRAIN. He suggests that our word-storage system is organized on the basis of some phonological information and that some words in the store are more easily retrieved than others.

Cognitivescientist Gary Dell, a professor of linguistics and psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana, contends that slips of the tongue are indeed revealing of a person's capacity for using language and its components. In his view, concepts, words, and sounds are interconnected in three networks in the brain the semantic, lexical, and phonological and speech arises from their interaction.

GENERAL D E F I N I T I O N

The scientific study of speech errors,commonly calledSlips of the tongue or tongue-slipscan provided useful clues to the processes; of language production : they can tell us where a speaker stop to think.

TYPES OF SLIP OF TOUNGE

TypeDescription Examples1SubstitutionA unit of the sentence contains an intruderThe queer old deaninstead of (the dear old queen)2DeletionA unit is omitted in the utteranceHe wasnt there (He was there)3PerseverationAn earlier segment reappears in a latter onePulled a tantrum(pulled a pantrum)4AdditionA new unit is addedThe optional number (the moptional number)

DR. SPOONERISM

Spooner had a nervous tendency to sometimes transpose initial letters or half-syllables in speech. This tendency became known, circa 1885, asSpoonerismand the sometimes hilarious transpositions became known asSpoonerisms- Dr. Spooner's occasional transpositions created a reputation and started a fad. Students began devising transpositional puns, and attributing them to him.

His famous speech lapses are thought to have resulted from the difficulty he may have had reading. Spooner was an albino and as such, suffered from defective eyesight.
