Paper Summary:
This paper discusses slips of the tongue, lapsus linguae, parapraxes or fehlleistung. The paper examines these parapraxes from the point of view of linguistics and psychology, as well as merely redundant habits of mind and simply just mistakes. The paper suggests that the everyday reaction to slips of the tongue will always be one of the revelations of deeper meanings or hidden desires, regardless of any truth behind the words.From the Paper:
"There is also another discipline to be heard from, that of philosophy. The philosophical debate that intercedes here and says that language itself by its nature is a bridge between realities. We cannot know another's mind without language, therefore language is a key feature giving meaning to daily events. These meanings help us to more firmly understand reality. It is also by its very nature an insight into the conscious as well as the unconscious mind. The words of poets are not always factual but they certainly have been known to give us a deeper meaning to our existence and reality.
