Los lapsus linguae como fuente de datos en el estudio de la producción del lenguaje: un corpus de errores en castellano

Abstract

The analysis of spontaneous speech errors has for a long time been one of the most prominent methods for examining the processes underlying language production. There are hundreds of studies on this subject, and there are extensive collections of slips of the tongue in different languages. Two studies of Spanish have been published, and another study of Catalan is undenvay. Students ut many Spanish universities following
courses in Psycholinguistics, Psychology of language, Thought and Language, and other related subjects are required to conduct practical work on slips of the tongue every year. Nevertheless, there is as yet no systematic, general presentation of the urea that demonstrates its potential, its strengths and weaknesses, and the surprisingly regular patterns of errors. The goal of this paper is to provide un overview of this kind and to present our corpus of Spanish slips of the tongue.
