ABSTRACT
Slips of the tongue happen when the speaker produces a wrong utterance they did not mean to occur. Slips of the tongue naturally happen because of unintentional processes when we produce a speech. This present study aims to analyze the types of slips of the tongue which occur in the utterances produced by interviewees during job interview using combined theory proposed by Fromkin (1973) Harley (2001). The data were collected from job interview held by PT. Bimasakti Multi Sinergi. The participant of this study is 15 interviewees which follow job interview in March until May 2015. The findings showed that there are 54 slips of the tongue produced by interviewees during job interview. Thirty four slips belong to Fromkin (1973) and Harley (2001). Of 13 types of slips of the tongue, only 6 types were found in this study (phoneme anticipation, word exchange, word substitution, haplologies, affix deletion, and phoneme deletion). The most frequent type of slips of the tongue is word exchange with 14 slips of the tongue out of 34 slips or 41.20%. The rest 20 slips are other types than Fromkin (1973) and Harley (2001). They are considered as phoneme substitution, phoneme insertion, and syllable insertion.
