slip of the tongue is an accidental and usually trivial mistake in speaking, and it's also a point of penetration for us to discuss the intention issue on linguistic field. Under many situations, speaker might need to separate the ere-intention via hiding part of it to achieve a better words-effect, which in fact, is a kind of disposal of intention. The date analysis from classic sitcom shows, a failure on this intention disposal would usually cause the phenomenon of slip of the tongue and some of the main theories, such as Cooperative Principal from Grice H.P, Relevance Theory from Sperber.D and Wilson.D, and the theory on Pragmatics from Guanlian Qian in China are lack of reasonable explanations on this problem which is because they generally ignore the untransferred intention that potentially separated from the ere-intention of speaker. The phenomenon about slip of the tongue is supposed be compartmentalize into succeed type and failed type and in each will be classified as fully-succeed and succeed-by-saving, fully-failed and saving-failed.Basically the intention disposal is judged by human sense, and a principal of judgment is there for guidance, which can be called "Benefit first principal". This principal helps speaker create the best words-effect on listeners and set up nice human relations in society. It's also can be used as an explanation prosthesis on the slip of the tongue phenomenon by which the speaker fail to a conversation since his slipping words against the benefit of him or of the both participants in communication. The date from will also show how it works when benefits in a conflict.The connection between words and intention can be generalized according to our discussion which is: intention expressed with words, intention revised with words and intention concealed with words. Hope it will be a little bit helpful for the intention issue study.
