1 -- June 13, 9:45AM Utterance: Jiejie, uh, Guoguo Target: Guoguo Analysis: Semantically mediated lexical substitution Note: Jiejie is a nickname for our older daughter. Guoguo is the younger girl's name. |
Below are several more examples, laid out as rows in a table, but containing the same information as the entry above.
I began collecting my own errors at around 4:00 PM, Thursday, June 8, 2006. Here is a sampling of what I got a few days later, June 13th starting at 9:00 AM to be precise. Don't be intimidated: I do make lots of speech errors so it looks like a pretty busy morning! Your mileage may vary. And yes, I was talking about speech errors alot that morning! It's like that some days at our house.

| 1 | June 13, 9:45AM | Jiejie, uh, Guoguo | Guoguo | Semantically mediated lexical substitution | Jiejie is a nickname for our older daughter. Guoguo is the younger girl's name. |
| 2 | June 13, 9:46AM | Oh, my spirst speech error of the day! | First | The sp cluster from 'speech' was anticipated,replacing the /f/. The rest of the word was fine. | Alas! This was irritating! |
| 3 | June 13, 9:50 AM | If you want to waste your morning in that kind of bost post modern way... | most post modern way. | Another anticipation: there's no /b/ to be anticipated, but the /p/ is similar to a /p/. We'd technically call this a 'feature' error. There aren't many of these... aren't you proud to know me? | FWIW: I was trying to be cute, talking to my spouse. |
| 4 | June 13, 9:55AM | I just feel so welcome here with my ... | I just feel so welcome here with your feet in my hair. | Words getting scrambled is a syntactic error. | A relaxed morning at the W-J family estates: one of my daughters was tickling me on the floor and putting her little feet in my hair. |
| 5 | June 13, 9:55AM | Ah! A speech errorer every five minutes. | A speech error every five minutes! | Extra 'er' sound perseverating. | OK, like I said, it was a crazy morning and your mileage may vary! |
| 6 | June 13, 10:00AM | I don't think she sinks it's funny. | thinks it's funny | Anticipation of the /s/ | |
| 7 | June 13, 10:10AM | That's what Claire wants. | That's what Guo wants. | Semantically mediated lexical error. | What *would* I do for speech errors without these children? |
| 8 | June 13, 10:25AM | OK, Guo...Claire | OK, Claire | More of the same! | |
| 9 | June 13, 10:35AM | The elev...the helecopter is going up. | helecopter | More lexical errors. This one both semantically and phonologically mediated. Both are machines that go up. Compare the sounds of the two words: same number of syllables, both have stress on the first syllable, and they have many of the same vowel and consonant sounds. | Thanks to Mr. Rogers for this one. We were watching him and Mr. McFeely take off in a helecopter. I was narrating. |
| 10 | June 13, 11:35AM | A lot of little jars in the refrigerator | bottles | Semantically mediated lexical slip | For once not involving my children! |
| 11 | June 1, 11:45AM | Gu... Claire do you want something to eat? | Claire |
And then, I sat down at the computer and nobody much talked to be until 4:30 or so! No, it isn't like this all day. And, if this amount of recording scares you, remember that I am probably on the far end of the continuum in terms of number of errors per day. I range from a low of 13 to a high so far of 34.
