What is a "speech error"?

A speech error is a mistake made during the production of spoken language, which can include mispronunciations, substitutions, omissions, or distortions of sounds, words, or phrases. These errors can occur in everyday conversation and are often unintentional, resulting from various factors such as stress, fatigue, or distraction. Common types of speech errors include slips of the tongue, where a speaker accidentally says a different word or mixes up sounds, and misarticulations, where sounds are pronounced incorrectly. While speech errors are generally normal and occur in most people's speech, frequent or persistent errors may indicate underlying speech or language disorders that could benefit from assessment and intervention.
