PARDO, María Victoria e QUIROZ HERRERA, Gabriel Ángel. Gender and Socioeconomic Status, Determining Factors in the Number and Type of Written Errors in English as a Foreign Language?. Leng. [online]. 2021, vol.49, n.2, pp.394-437. Epub 07-Jul-2021. ISSN 0120-3479. https://doi.org/10.25100/lenguaje.v49i2.10540.
This article presents the statistical analysis of writing errors in a corpus of students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at university level. It seeks to establish whether there is a relationship between the main errors of written texts and two sociodemographic factors: gender and stratum. The participants were placed in levels B1 and B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The corpus was compiled following the procedures of Computational Corpus Linguistics (CCL) and the errors analysis method was used for the examination of errors which were later coded according to the error annotation system of the University of Leuven version 1.2. According to the findings, the most prevalent errors in men and women belong to the categories Form, Spelling (FS), Grammar Article (GA) and Lexical (LS). Similarly, according to the results, the most prevalent error in stratum 1 and 2 of level B2 is Grammar Article (GA). At this same level, in strata 3, 4, 5 and 6, the most prevalent error is Lexical (LS). An overview of the results is provided.
