Abstract LINGUISTIC ERRORS IN PARAGRAPHS: A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS' ESSAYS

This study analyzed linguistic errors in paragraphs written by students in essay writing. It is based on Corder's (1974) Error Analysis Theory, emphasizing the importance of identifying errors in essay writing. This qualitative study used essays as a corpus for analysis of linguistic errors in paragraphs from senior high school students, specifically grade 11, in the Filipino subject at a public secondary school in San Isidro District, Division of Davao del Norte. The Surface Strategy Taxonomy was used to analyze and organize linguistic errors in paragraphs, including omission, addition, mis-selection and mis-formation, and mis-ordering. The analysis revealed numerous errors in the use of punctuation marks (e.g., hyphen, apostrophe), affixes, correct spelling, and sentence structure. This study can serve as a guide for teaching interventions to address linguistic errors in paragraphs and achieve accuracy in writing.
