초록보기

The present study investigates corpora of spoken and written language and types of errors, including collocational errors, in the corpora. This study involves two corpora, consisting of speaking and writing samples, which were collected from 134 Korean university students through a 10-minute one-to-one base interview and an in-class free composition. The corpora of written and spoken language were compared and contrasted with a corpus linguistics tool and examined for error analysis, using a qualitative approach. Errors were identified and classified accordingly, based on a procedure of linguistic taxonomy adopted from Duly and Burt (1982). The study identified a total of 30,555 tokens in the written corpus and a total of 33,140 tokens in the spoken corpus. In terms of word types, the written corpus yielded 3,004 types of words, and the spoken corpus provided 2,342 types of words. However, in examining the frequency of all the individual words that made up the written and spoken corpora of the participants, it was discovered that almost 90% of the word families in the corpora belonged to the first 1,000 most frequent English words.

With respect to error analysis, in the written corpus, misformation was the most frequent type of error, followed by omission and addition. In contrast, in the spoken corpus, omission was the most frequent type of error, with misformation in second place and addition in third. Even though the written and spoken corpora revealed different types of errors, use of article, use of preposition, use of tense, and use of plural maker -s were the most frequent and problematic areas, both in the written and spoken corpora. In terms of collocational errors, G8-D (verb + preposition + object) and L1 (verb + noun/pronoun) were the most frequent types of collocation errors in both the written and spoken corpora. Some implications are drawn concerning types of errors, including collocational errors, with respect to improving language teaching.
