ERROR ANALYSIS OF THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL STUDENTS IN THE USE OF CONCORD

Abstract

Learners at all educational levels commit errors while trying to perform the different tasks assigned to them. Such errors committing is said to be the violation of the linguistic rules by learners and can occur at all linguistic levels depending on the frequency of learners' dealing with the constituents of each level. Learners' written performance forms no exception in this respect. There are errors of various types in learners' writings and to varied degrees. Some are called minor errors if they do not hinder communication and, or they are called major errors when they stand in the way of communication.
The present research aims at presenting a detailed account of errors and error correction. It also aims at identifying a number of errors committed by a sample of students in the use of concord.
