AbstractThis paper presents the improvement process of a mention detector for Basque. The system is rule-based and takes into account the characteristics of mentions in Basque. A classification of error types is proposed based on the errors that occur during mention detection. A deep error analysis distinguishing error types and causes is presented and improvements are proposed. At the final stage, the system obtains an F-measure of 74.57% under the Exact Matching protocol and of 80.57% under Lenient Matching. We also show the performance of the mention detector with gold standard data as input, in order to omit errors caused by the previous stages of linguistic processing. In this scenario, we obtain an F-measure of 85.89% with Strict Matching and of 89.06% with Lenient Matching, i.e., a difference of 11.32 and 8.49 percentage points, respectively. Finally, how improvements in mention detection affect coreference resolution is analysed.

This paper aims at investigating the spelling mistakes made by students of English language in The World Islamic Sciences and Education University (WISE) in Jordan. The researcher adopted Cook‘s classification of errors in this study. Students mistakes were categorized into four classifications: substitution, omission, insertion, and transposition. Fifty students were participated in the study by enrolling in the "Error Analysis" course in two semesters of the academic year 2016/2017. The data for the study were derived from three exams: the first, the second, and the final exams, given to the students during the two semesters. Then the data were analyzed after completing the course in the second semester of 2016-2017. The results of the study revealed that (38%) of the errors referred to omission and (28%) to insertion. However, the study showed that (22%) of errors referred to substitution, while only (15%) of them referred to transposition. This study showed that using vowels and pronunciation incorrectly is one of the major causes of the learners' errors. Further, the interference of the first language plays a significant role in this regard. The study concludes that more efforts and concern should be given to spelling errors made by students since the learning of spelling is an integral part of language learning. The researcher suggested some recommendations and pedagogical implications to be studied in the future.
