Error Analysis

These are grammatically errors at the sentence level.

These are well formed expressions at a sentence level, but are not interpretable at a discourse or context level.

Main difference between overt and covert errors is that they play a different role when doing an error analysis, one overt errors are systematic and covert are idiosyncratic.

It refers to performance errors that it is caused by failing in utilizing a known system correctly.Mistakes can be made in the native or second language.Speakers are capable of recognizing and correcting them.

It reflects the competence of the learner.It cannot be self-correct as it is a deviation of the learner's system.

The difference between them is that mistakes have to do with the performance and errors with the system of the learners.

Main difference is the language transfer, intralingual is within the second language, and interlanguage is with the native language.

It is the permanent incorporation of incorrect linguistic forms into a person's second language competence.Fossilization is impacted by conditioning, reinforcement, need, motivation, self-determination.Affective feedback and cognitive feedback are factors related to fossilization. It could be the result of the presence or absence of internal motivating factors or seeking interactions with other people.

It refers to the moment in which learners' language development has reach an apparent "plateau", (Long, 2003)It usually occurs in advanced stages, where language learning seems not to experience any changes.

The main difference between fossilization and stabilization is permanence and the causes.
