Spoonerism named after William A. Spooner (1844-1930) who had reputation for making this slips of the tongue. Spoonerism in the Oxford English Dictionary is the transposition of two sounds, or of the first letters of two words, in the simple sentence. In 1879, Dr. Spooner announced hymn as "The Kinquering Congs The Tittle Take" since then, he has been labeled the author of the countless spoonerism. But, on his wedding celebration, he stoutly maintained that 'Kinquering Congs' was his one and only spoonerism, that it was a slips of his tongue. The scientific name of the spoonerism is an Exchange, or in the Greek, Metaphasis. What we can learn of slips of the tongue with regard of the psycholinguistics is that:
- We obviously start speaking before we have planned how we finish our very first sentence
- Planning seems to start with a rough outline of the sentence structure with is eventually filled with lexical items while speaking has already started
