ABSTRACT

I DRIFTED INTO PSYCHOLINGUISTICS. They say that people become interested in psychology because they want to understand what’s wrong with themselves, and that’s true in my case. All my life I’ve messed up what I’ve meant to say. I’m perfectly articulate on paper but sometimes feel pretty dreadful when speaking. I slur my speech and often say the opposite of what I mean (which makes my lectures fun). I now think this all happens because of the general phonological deficit I have that I described earlier.
