The lexical bias effect in experimentally elicited Swedish phonological speech errors

Summary, in English

The lexical bias effect refers to the tendency for phonological speech errors to have lexical rather than non-lexical outcomes. This effect has often been used as a piece of evidence in theories of speech production, informing assumptions about monitoring and spreading activation. However, the lexical bias effect is known only from investigations of a relatively small set of languages, and the findings have not always been conclusive. The aim of the current study is to investigate the presence of a lexical bias effect in Swedish phonological speech errors, which has not been done before. Errors were elicited by using a modified version of the SLIP-method (Baars et al. 1975). The errors elicited in the current study display a strong lexical bias, further indicating that the effect is universal and not language-dependent. Furthermore, the errors displayed a phonetic similarity effect as well as a preference towards grammatical and meaningful error outcomes, revealing additional factors underlying speech errors and speech production in general.
