This study investigated the phonological disruption and subsequent selfcorrecting behaviour in Cantonese aphasic speakers. The self‐correcting behaviour was investigated by examining the sequence of successive spontaneous attempts in producing a target sound. Five anomic, five non‐fluent aphasic and five normal control subjects were assessed by using a confrontation naming task which included monosyllabic, disyllabic and trisyllabic targets. All the aphasic subjects demonstrated successive phonological self‐corrections towards the target. Initial consonants were more vulnerable to phonological disruption and more resistant to self‐correction than vowels, lexical tones and final consonants.
