초록

This research aims to implement a preliminary analysis of the peculiar speech data called Bushism (presumably including the verbal slips produced by the former U.S. President George W. Bush). In order to compare the notion and phenomenon of Bushism with the actual SOTs, keyword-based online searches are conducted on Google and YouTube. In this pilot study using 6 YouTube videos available in the 6 major broadcasting companies' online archives (e.g., Reuters, AP, NBC, CBS, CNN, and SKY News), 41 samples are collected upon the screening process. By adopting logically more systematic criteria of Kim (2010) and Kim & Lee (2010), it turns out that (a) a lot of Bushism-based online videos contain more provocative, more controversial, yet less relevant episodes including nonverbal icebreaking acts and (b) there are many examples that are copied, reuploaded, and requoted. When it comes the authentic SOT examples, a greater proportion of the selected examples suggests a natural and understandable degree and boundary of constraints (thus, natural rather than random) in human language production. In addition, unlike the old belief that slips of the tongue are generally synonymous to spoonerism and malapropism, a variety of speech error patterns are equally observed on general linguistic levels (throughout the phonetic, phonemic, phonological, morphological, lexical, syntactic, and pragmatic levels). Such general taxonomy, distribution, constraints, and principles seem to be closely related to ( inter-) semiotic iconicity in the brain-language-to-verbal-language translation, even though the target text/domain and the arrival text/domain may have failed to match with each other owing to the inherited conditions of human cognition and perception. In conclusion, Bushism and President Bush's SOTs should be distinguished more carefully. More importantly, it is found that most of the SOTs by President George W. Bush can be systematically and adequately explained by their contexts as well as by the speaker's self repairs.
