Analysis of Language Errors in the “Larise” Magazine Article at SMP Negeri 8 Surakarta

This study aims to analyze language errors and their interpretations at the level of syntax, morphology, and Indonesian Spelling System as well as to increase knowledge and insight about how to write properly and correctly according to the language rules that have been regulated in the KBBI and PUEBI. This research uses descriptive qualitative research method. The data in this study are in the form of words (not numbers) sourced from Larise magazine in an article entitled "Philosophy of Kidungan Jawa "Ana Kidung Rumeksa ing Wengi" published on Sunday, October 11, 2020. The data collection technique in this study is a note-taking technique, namely: by reading Larise magazine as a data source. The analysis used in this study is an interactive analysis which includes the steps of a) data collection, b) error identification, c) error explanation, d) error classification, and e) error evaluation. In this study, an analysis of errors in writing rules was carried out at the level of syntax, morphology, and accuracy in the use of Indonesian Spelling (EBI). Errors at the syntactic level are in the form of errors in the use of effective sentences, errors at the morphological level are affixation errors, and errors related to Indonesian spelling include errors in using punctuation marks, using capital letters, using standard words, using prepositions, and using particles

The metalinguistic awareness of bilingual (Persian-Baluchi) and monolingual (Persian) learners of English language

The present study aimed to explore the metalinguistic awareness of Persian- and Persian-Baluchi-speaking students who were in the process of learning English as their second and third languages, respectively. In order to study learners’ metalinguistic awareness in error identification, correction and explanation they were asked to complete a syntactic awareness test. Findings demonstrated that Baluch respondents noted and corrected a greater proportion of grammatical errors than Persian respondents in English. Moreover, Baluch participants had a more grammar-oriented approach in correcting the errors they noted than the Persian participants, whose approaches were relatively content-oriented for some errors. As for error explanation, Baluch participants produced a greater proportion of error explanations and had a more grammar-oriented approach than did the Persian participants, however, their differences in this case were not statistically significant. These differences were observed on the dimensions that were both similar and dissimilar across the three languages (Persian, Baluchi, and English).

COMPARATIVE ERROR ANALYSIS IN ENGLISH WRITING BY FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD YEAR STUDNETS OF ENGLISH DEPARTMENT OF FACULTY OF EDUCATION AT CHAMPASACK UNIVERSITY

levels. To investigate the error types, the frequency of error types, the similarities and difference of errors and the last to find the error sources that occur in first, second and third year learners. Error analysis is one type of linguistic study and it focuses on learners’ error making. The linguistic category and surface strategy taxonomy are used to find out the types of error. The analysis the phenomenon based on Brown (1980) namely, error identification, error classification, Error description and error explanation. The data from students’ writing products, 54 pieces in three levels andthe total errors are 571 erroneous sentences. There are two types of errors, namely lexical errors and syntactical errors; eight error categories and twenty-seven error cases. The second year learners made the most error 263 errors or 46, 05% whilefirst year learners produced 229 errors or 40, 10% and third year learners made 79 errors or 13, 83%. There are similarity in errors types, five similar categories and five error cases, but there are three different error categories and eighteen error cases. The main error sources, learners had lack knowledge of English grammatical rule. The overgeneralization (265 errors or 46, 40%) influences learners’ error, language transfer (199 errors or 34, 85%) still interfere learners’ acquisition and simplification (107 errors or 18, 73%) is one factor that effect learners’ errors.
