Kids' Slips: What Young Children's Slips of the Tongue Reveal About Language Development


Add your own review!

Overview

"The study of speech errors, or ""slips of the tongue,"" is a time-honored research window into language production and probably the most reliable source of data for building theories of production phenomena. However, until Kids' Slips, there has never been a corpus of such errors from children with which to work. Jaeger's book includes both details of her methodology and findings with implications for different aspects of language development, including phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. This book targets those who study language development in linguistics, developmental psychology, and speech and hearing, as well as those who study language production more generally in the same disciplines, from the beginning graduate level onward."

Reviews

...this is an insightful and excellently researched book...recommended reading. It has already become a really interesting contribution to the wide literature on developmental linguistics and psychology....The enormous amount of data (a total of 1,383 examples), which was collected between 1983 and 1992 is perfectly well-organized in 91 tables throughout the different chapters; figures and diagrams are also very helpful to clarify some points....it usually includes a summary and conclusions at the end of every chapter, this way she brings together all the most important ideas. --The Reading Matrix Without a doubt, Jaeger's book is a significant contribution to the field of psycholinguistics. The book is likely to stimulate new interest in the study of speech errors and revive interest in those who are already familiar with the topic....ideal to be used as the primary text for graduate-level courses. --PsycCRITIQUES The fruits of this long lasting enterprise are now available to the benefit of all. --Linguist List Jeri Jaeger breaks important new ground in this detailed documentation and analysis of children's speech errors. The book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of both speech processing and language development. --Dan I. Slobin University of California at Berkeley
