SPEECH LAPSES are unintentional linguistic innovations which are usually called slips of the tongue by the layman. In radio and television broadcasting, where the spoken word is of utmost interest and importance, lapses are known as bloopers, fluffs, slips, and boners. A particular kind of slip resulting in the interchange of sounds in two different words is generally called a spoonerism, after the alleged habit of the Rev. William A. Spooner, of New College, Oxford. Lapses, indeed, are common in the speech of all men, and most of them pass unnoticed unless the result be strikingly humorous or ridiculous. The very prevalence of speech lapses makes them important for the linguist.' Why do lapses occur? How may they be classified? Are some types more frequent than others? In this study we shall attempt to answer these questions through an analysis of lapses made in radio and television speech. The data, covering approximately twenty-five years from the pioneer days of radio to modem television, have been collected on five commercial long-playing records
