Abstract

Speech errors provide cues for explaining the process of word retrieval. For example, speech errors are less likely to occur with high-frequency words since these words already receive a high level of activation. The current analysis further develops existing findings in two ways. First, instead of considering the overall frequency of the words in the entire corpora, we consider the gap in frequency between sequential pairs of words. We hypothesize that speech errors are more likely to occur if the target has a much lower frequency than its preceding word. Second, we use word embedding methods to quantify the semantic distance between sequential pairs of words. We hypothesize that speech errors are more likely to occur with words that have a large semantic distance from their preceding context. We also consider the potential effects of phonetic distance between sequential pairs of words and position-in-utterance of words in utterances. The results from a Mandarin corpus of speech errors show that word frequency and semantic distance between sequential pairs of words can be used to predict the occurrence of speech errors with an accuracy above the majority baseline.

Acknowledgments

We appreciate the valuable and constructive comments we received from two anonymous reviewers and the editor. This paper is an extended version of a research paper that has been published in the post-conference proceedings for the 22nd Chinese Lexical Semantics Workshop in Hong Kong by Springer. We would like to thank the participants at that conference for their comments and questions. Thanks also go to Professor Wei-yun Ma for releasing the coding of the CKIP parser, and Professor Li-hsin Ning and Professor Jiahong Yuan for the traditional HMM coding for the phonetic forced alignment in Mandarin. Our deepest appreciation goes to Dr. Chain-wu Lee for his ongoing cutting-edge high-tech programming support in constructing all the corpora in the Phonetics and Psycholinguistics Laboratory. All remaining errors of analysis or interpretation are our own. This research was supported in part by a three-year grant from the National Science and Technology Council to the corresponding author in Taiwan (MOST 98-2410-H-004-103-MY2).
