X Abstract

Communication slips (slips of the tongue, pen, hand and mind) have been studied mostly in search of support for linguistic and psychological theories. These slips, however, also have their practical implications apart from their theoretical contributions. This is in part because the speaker's sociocultural background and the communication environment inevitably affect the way people talk and behave. The complicated social relations and diverse cultural values, and even one's political viewpoints can all be reflected in slips. Therefore, slips of various types can be analyzed from both linguistic and psychological aspects, as well as from the sociocultural perspectives.
