The concept of monitoring and repair are fundamental in the field of pshycolinguistics, as they shed light on how humans manage and
correct errors in speech and written language.
MONITORING refers to the ongoing process of self-assesment during languge production or comperhension, while REPAIR involves the strategies and mechanisms employed to rectify detectedd errors.
INTRODUCTION
One prompt that might result in speaker wanting to repair errors
in their own output is feedback that listener give when they have not understood something.
SELF-MONITORING
In psycholinguistics, induced errors refer to mistakes or
inaccuracies in language production that are brought about by experimental manipulations or external influences. These errors are intentionally introduced in controlled settings to study various
aspects of language processing, cognition, and the underlying mechanisms of speech production. The aim is to understand how
the human mind deals with language-related challenges and how it corrects or adapts when faced with induced linguistic
disturbances.
INDUCED ERRORS
REPAIR Repairs typically involve the interruption
of an erroneous utterance. With repairs in
spontaneous speech it can often be
difficult to know what the speaker would
have gone on to say if they had not
interrupted their utterance.
Editor Theories
• Neuroimaging studies (Indefrey, 2007) indicate that we actually use similar brain areas in two types of self
monitoring, internal and external. As well as in listening to others. The speed which errors are
detected and corrected also supports the existence of internal as well as external monitoring.
• The presence of covert repairs reinforces this
suggestion, since in covert repairs the errorful word is not even pronounced.
Speakers Helping Listeners
• Sensitivity to listeners' need appears to be reflected in the
distribution of between word phonological effects, or connected speech processes (CSPs). CSPs include effects such as
palatalisation in English, by which a sequence of/d/ /j/, as in would you, becomes a palatal affricate.
• Speakers tend not to follow such between word phonological effects to occur if they would distort the beginning of a word that listeners particularly need to hear more clearly.
• This has been shown in a study that manipulated the
frequencies (as measured from frequency norms) of the first word in such sequences, i.e the word ending in /d/, or of the next word, beginning with /j/.
• It was found that palatalisation did not vary according to the
frequency of the first word, but that it was much less likely when the word after the boundary was a low frequency word
