Slips of Speech is a book written by John H. Bechtel that explores the phenomenon of verbal slips, also known as Freudian slips. The book delves into the psychology behind these slips, examining the theories and research that attempt to explain why they occur. Bechtel also provides numerous examples of slips of speech, ranging from the humorous to the embarrassing, and discusses the various ways in which they can be interpreted. The book is written in an accessible style and is aimed at both general readers and professionals in the fields of psychology and linguistics. Overall, Slips of Speech offers a fascinating look into the workings of the human mind and the ways in which our unconscious thoughts and desires can manifest themselves in our speech.Pet Words Avoid pet words, whether individual, provincial, or national in their use. Few persons are entirely free from the overuse of certain words. Young people largely employ such words as delightful, delicious, exquisite, and other expressive adjectives, which constitute a kind of society slang.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
