Cross-Linguistic Slips of the Tongue Research GroupThe Cross-Linguistic Slips of the Tongue Research Group is an interdisciplinary faculty-student research group, directed by Jeri J. Jaeger, which meets every other week throughout the academic year. Students in this group are trained in the various methodologies for collecting slips of the tongue (naturalistic collection, recorded speech, tongue twisters, video narration, SLIPs), and then embark on projects collecting data in a variety of languages. Issues of focus include the linguistic structure of specific languages, the organization of the lexicon, the acquisition of the representations and processes needed for language production, and cross-linguistic differences in speech production planning. Our ultimate goal is the development of a speech production planning model which can fully account for differences among languages. Furthermore, our ideal model takes into account not only the traditional areas of the representation and processing of linguistic structures, but also the discourse and situational context of the speech event, as well as cognitive processes such as memory and attention. This research group is affiliated with the Center for Cognitive Science; everyone, including first year graduate students, is welcome to join!
