Tongue-slip

口误

The everyday sense of this phrase is found in phonetics and psycholinguistics, where the phenomenon is studied as part of a theory of speech production; also called a slip of the tongue. Such slips seem not to be random; e.g. segments occurring initially in syllables seem to interfere only with other syllable-initial segments. The suggestion is that tongue-slips are not just errors of articulation, but are rather the results of incorrect neural programming (‘slips of the brain’, as some would say). The analysis of these errors motivates hypotheses about the properties of the neurolinguistic control governing speech.

按其通常涵义用于语音学和心理语言学，是言语产生理论研究的一种现象。口误看来不是没有规律的；例如出现在音节首的音段一般只干扰其他音节的首音段。这说明口误不仅仅是发音的语误，而是神经程序不正常的结果（也许可称为“脑误”）。口误分析能对支配言语的神经语言学因素的特性提出一些假设。
