In attempts to determine the units of spoken language production linguists and psychologists have examined speech errors extensively. Much of the systematic data for these errors, commonly known as 'slips of the tongue', was collected and labeled by Professor Victoria A. Fromkin. A newly publicly available web version of the Fromkin Speech Error Database makes it possible to search the database electronically, using a number of search criteria. The database contains over 7500 slips of various kinds collated from multilingual collections made by researchers in the past three decades, most notably Fromkin. The largest sub-corpus of errors is for English; other sub-corpora contain errors in French, German, and Italian.
