Language Errors in Campus Journalists' News Articles Its Implication to Writers' Interlanguage
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This study aimed to reveal the linguistic errors student-writers committed in their news articles. It specifically endeavored to identify and classify the common graphological, lexico-semantic, and grammatical errors in the news articles. The frequency of these errors and the news writers' error-density index were also determined. In this study, one hundred eighteen news articles of high school journalists were evaluated using the descriptive method via corpus analysis. Errors were categorized using Corder's linguistic levels and were further analyzed using Ferris' model of common writing errors. The study revealed that the most prevalent error among news writers is on the grammatical level with the improper use of verb tenses as the most recurrent error followed by capitalization and word choice. Furthermore, the overall error-density index of all news articles computed at 74 is deemed 'very problematic' which led to the conclusion that the campus journalists are struggling in the correct application of linguistic rules which affect the content of their news and which may threaten the effective delivery of campus journalism.
