Patterns in speech errors

Question 1

Patterns:

Answer 1

1. Intended sounds are more likely to be replaced by similar sounds
2. Sounds embedded in similar phonological environments are more likely to be exchanged
3. When they result in non-words, very likely to look like “possible words”
4. More likely to replace rare sounds with common ones
5. Sound exchanges, normally involve sounds that appear in the same position within a syllable

Assembling the sounds of content words

Answer 2

happens at an earlier stage than filling in the sounds for function words

Question 3

Planning:

Answer 3

happens before they’re slotted into a syntactic frame that specifies plurals or tenses

Question 4

Planning:

Exchange of words

Answer 4

happens a stage earlier than the spelling out of sounds

Question 5

Planning:

Word exchanges
