Output editing for lexical status in artificially elicited slips of the tongue

摘要: It was shown previously that spoonerisms (such as bad goof—gad boof) can be elicited by having subjects articulate a target (bad goof) preceded bias items which contain at least the initial phoneme (/g/) of desired error outcome. The present study takes advantage fact two very similar targets such darn bore and dart board will often have different outcomes (e.g., outcome barn door is meaningful while bart doard not). Any systematic difference in rate errors between these types must attributable to processes take place after recoding into its corresponding slip. thus possible directly evaluate effect editing apply only outcome, not word pair. demonstrated for lexical (L) targets, L are significantly more frequent than nonsense (N) outcomes. For N same generalization obtains, but context contains filler items. There no overall spoonerism on basis status unless clearly other In context, nonlexical appear suppressed. Theoretical implications discussed.
