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.
