Speech Errors


A fun project that grew out of a love of language and lots of laughter.
Oh, and losing the ability to think straight, induced by grad school.


(file coming soon!)

Kaya LeGrand and I have documented an incredible number of speech errors we've made and heard since 2021 (with thanks to our many contributors, especially Hannah Mechtenberg and Naomi Sellers). Recently, we converted that document into a spreadsheet. Our hope is that one day it will inform language production research.
For now, please enjoy our hilarious errors, starting with some of our favorites:

I've said it again and I'll say it before. (Kaya, 2021)

I couldn't have done it without her have writtening her thesis. (Emma, 2023)
