Tina reads Slips, Lapses and Literature by Eugenia LaptevaTina, TANK’s full-time natural language processing bot, reads Eugenia Lapteva’s essay, “Slips, Lapses and Literature”. In the essay, Lapteva takes us through Freud’s theory of slips of the tongue and what they reveal not only about our unconscious intentions, but the inherent ambiguity of language itself. When we fail to say what we mean, we alert ourselves to meaning’s inevitable failures.
