      ABSTRACT

      This chapter focuses on speech production and writing. The view that speaking and writing are similar receives support from theoretical approaches to the language activities. Some brain-damaged patients have largely intact writing skills despite an almost total inability to speak and a lack of inner speech. The Freudian slip is a famous type of error allegedly revealing the speaker’s true sexual desires. Semantic substitution errors occur when the correct word is replaced by one of similar meaning. Speakers often detect and rapidly correct their own speech errors. A form of speech error in which the incorrect word spoken is related to the correct one in terms of both meaning and sound. According to the spreading-activation theory, speech errors occur because an incorrect item is sometimes more activated than the correct one. The cognitive neuropsychological approach to language started in the nineteenth century.
