of slips of the tongue in the use of Indonesian by
adult native Indonesian speakers. By conducting this
research, the writer will be able to find out: first, the
sorts of phonological slips of the tongue happening in
Indonesian produced by adult native Indonesian speakers;
and second, the phonological patterns of those slips.
Basically, when gathering the data, she does not
select them yet. It is just after she finished, she
starts separating the phonological slips from the others.
Then, using the Indonesian phonetic alphabet, she
transcribes the corpus with broad phonetic transcriptions
both for the intended expression (I) and actual one (A).
As she is through with the transcriptions, with the aid
of some slips of the tongue theories, she begins to clas-sify
the corpus into two types of errors, namely, assem-bly
and selection errors. Then, from this, she continues
on categorising the slips into some more specific kinds
of errors: anticipations, perseverations, metatheses,
substitutions, blends, counter blends, additions, and
omissions. When the classifications are done, she,
eventually, commences to study each slip carefully to
figure out the patterns.
Based on the analyses that she makes, she concludes
that, first, in producing phonological slips of the
tongue, the speakers tend to produce more alveolar slips,
besides velar-alveolar ones. Second, repeated phonemes
induce misordering of sounds adjacent to the repeated
ones. Third, stressing in a single syllable in Indone-sian
is not very important as it does not affect the
production of the tongue-slips. Fourth, adult native
Indonesian speakers produce many anticipation and
perseveration slips, metathesis phonological process, and
more consonant slips, especially the alveolar sounds,
than the vowel ones. Fifth, the tongue-slips are not
random but there are structures which are followed by the
speakers based on their linguistic repertoires. Besides,
all of the phonological processes in the slips are caused
by the ease of articulation phenomenon.
