In this introduction, we wish to provide a broad overview of errors and disfluencies, showing how they are defined – and distinguished from each other – in the literature, and what impact the corpus revolution has had on the study of these phenomena. We will also demonstrate the usefulness of investigating such items by examining some of the possible applications of the study of errors and disfluencies.
