Barak Obama
● I've travelled to almost all of the 57 states.– Why did he say this?
● “Let’s not play games,” Obama stated. “What I was suggesting – you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come.”
Stephanopoulos immediately interrupted Obama, stating, “Christian faith.”
“My Christian faith,” Obama quickly said. “Well, what I’m saying is that he (McCain) hasn’t suggested that I’m a Muslim.– What happened here?

Mitt Romney
● Mitt Romney made an unfortunate slip of the tongue during a fundraiser Tuesday, when he mistakenly said "sheik" instead of "Sikh" while commenting on the tragic shooting in Wisconsin. – Why did he do this?

● Speech and the brain
![Page 40: Menn 3. Why are speech errors interesting? ● They give insight into mental processing ● More insight than looking at the brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfd11a28abf838cab685/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Process of speaking
● Message level-deciding what to say● Functional level-finding words to say it● Positional level-getting the words into sentences● Phonological encoding level-getting the sounds to

speech
![Page 41: Menn 3. Why are speech errors interesting? ● They give insight into mental processing ● More insight than looking at the brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfd11a28abf838cab685/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Functional level
• Concept vs. meaning● Picture yourself flying without a plane through the
clouds and looking down on what you see on the ground
● Can you do it without words? You are using concepts
● When you add words then meaning is important
![Page 42: Menn 3. Why are speech errors interesting? ● They give insight into mental processing ● More insight than looking at the brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfd11a28abf838cab685/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Functional level
• Lemma● Meaning of word● You can have meaning in your head but not
phonetic form (tip of tongue) so meaning is separate from phonetic form
![Page 43: Menn 3. Why are speech errors interesting? ● They give insight into mental processing ● More insight than looking at the brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfd11a28abf838cab685/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Functional level
• Lemma● Lemmas have many phonetic forms
● walks, walking, walked, walk● Lemma for CAR could include
● car, cars, red one, it, that one
![Page 44: Menn 3. Why are speech errors interesting? ● They give insight into mental processing ● More insight than looking at the brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfd11a28abf838cab685/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Functional level
• Lemma● Lemmas have many phonetic forms
● walks, walking, walked, walk● Lemma for CAR could include
● car, cars, red one, it, that one● Lemmas include information about part of speech,
frequency, things it co-occurs with, emotions attached to it, motor plan for pronouncing it, memories associated with it, opposites
![Page 45: Menn 3. Why are speech errors interesting? ● They give insight into mental processing ● More insight than looking at the brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfd11a28abf838cab685/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Functional level
● Activation● concept > lemma > things linked to lemma >
phonetic/motor make up of lemma
![Page 46: Menn 3. Why are speech errors interesting? ● They give insight into mental processing ● More insight than looking at the brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfd11a28abf838cab685/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Functional level
● Categorization is central human cognitive ability● many speech errors involve substitution between
things in same category● names of siblings● opposites● animals (farm, wild, domestic, dangerous, cute)● (Silvia) So are you going to hang out with your wife
this weekend?● (Dave) Are you crazy. She's the last person I want to
be with.● (Silvia) Mike, will you just stop!
![Page 47: Menn 3. Why are speech errors interesting? ● They give insight into mental processing ● More insight than looking at the brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfd11a28abf838cab685/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Functional level
● Going from concepts in message level to lemmas in functional level involves activations of lemmas.
● Activation of lemmas also activates closely associated lemmas
● This causes substitution errors
![Page 48: Menn 3. Why are speech errors interesting? ● They give insight into mental processing ● More insight than looking at the brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfd11a28abf838cab685/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
● Blends show retrieval of two words at same time● regardless + irrespective = irregardless● person + people = perple● coup + boon = coon
• She’s (Condoleezza Rice) got the patent resumé of somebody that has serious skill. She loves football, she’s African-American, which would be kind of a big coon. A big boon. Oh my God – I totally, totally, totally, totally am sorry for that. I didn’t mean that.

Semantic function
● Function is not part of speech● Noun, adjective, determiner, verb, conjunction
● Function is not grammatical function● John
subject painted the house
object
● The housesubject
was painted by Johnobject of prep.
● Function is what semantic role the words plays in sentence
● Johnagent
painted the houseundergoer
● The houseundergoer
was painted by Johnagent
![Page 50: Menn 3. Why are speech errors interesting? ● They give insight into mental processing ● More insight than looking at the brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfd11a28abf838cab685/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Semantic function
● At message level you envision John painting the house
● At functional level you choose lemmas for John, paint, and house
● You also assign part of speech to lemmas, and semantic roles to lemmas
● Things associated with lemmas are activated● Still no sentences or phonetics assigned to
words
