This book reports the results of an extensive study of slips of the tongue produced by foreign language (L2) learners at different levels of proficiency. Thus, it provides new data which can be used to test current monolingual models of speech production and to further the development of bilingual speech production models. Moreover, it offers a new approach to the study of second language acquisition. The book contains a detailed survey of the findings of L1 slip research, including studies of slips produced by child L1 learners. It systematically compares these findings to those of the current L2 study and relates them to recent monolingual and bilingual models of speech production and to several cognitive models of second language acquisition. Special features of the book are its emphasis on methodological problems and the inclusion of the complete L2 corpus of 2000 slips of the tongue. It is expected that the book will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in the areas of speech production and second language acquisition, and particularly to those who would like to test their own hypotheses using the L2 data.

Summary of the contents of the book.

The book provides an overview of the key findings in L1 slip research.
It relates L1 findings to monolingual speech production models.
It gives a detailed survey of studies of slips produced by children.
It presents an up-to-date review of bilingual speech production models.
It discusses recent cognitive models of second language acquisition.
It gives a detailed description of an extensive research project on slips of the tongue produced by Dutch learners of English.
The L2 slip corpus is tape-recorded.
It discusses methodological problems in L1 slip research.
It systematically compares the L1 findings to those of the L2 slip project.
It relates the findings to monolingual and bilingual models of speech production and to cognitive models of second language acquisition.

Table of Contents
“I am very impressed with the comprehensive and balanced account of the literature. The author applies an irrefutable logic. The reader is constantly aware how the current chapter relates to the book as a whole, and which model is used for the analysis and discussion of the data without going into unnecessary detail. In short, a joy to read.”
“Despite its intrinsic importance, the study of speech errors in second language learners has never been studied in any real depth. This monograph by Nanda Poulisse is the first serious investigation of the subject. Poulisse begins her work by carefully summarizing 17 major results of the research literature on slips of the tongue in adult monolinguals and children. She then presents a well-designed study of speech errors in Dutch learners of English at three proficiency levels. The logic of this design and the precision of data analysis are unexcelled in the research literature. By conducting a parallel analysis of a smaller set of new first language errors, she is able to rule out a set of false positive findings. In the end, she presents good evidence for differences in speech errors between the first and the second language across five important dimensions. This is a valuable and important book that illuminates not only our understanding of second language acquisition, but also basic issues in the study of speech production.”
“The organization and writing style found in Slips of the Tongue is most effective. Existing literature on the topic is critically reviewed, each chapter’s contents are previewed and summarized, examples from the extensive corpora are used to demonstrate the author’s points, and the evidence is examined, to the extent possible, within cognitive models of SLA and models of speech production that have some basis in error data. The book should be of interest to researchers in L1 and L2 acquisition, speech processing and production, and cognitive psychology.”
“Overall, I rate the book highly. The study itself is impressively ambitious and Poulisse is careful to provide a close interpretation that does not venture into the realm of wild speculation.”
“There is much to recommend this book as boasting an ambitious, well-defended and important account of the production of slips of the tongue in second language speech [... ] Slips of the Tongue serves as an excellent point of departure for further investigation.”
“Poulisse’s presentation of her work is admirably thorough. The details of her study and the rationale for her decisions are always eminently clear. For readers interested in the psychology of L2 use, the book provides a great deal to think about.”
