Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
This study was to identify and classify errors by analyzing students errors and a class of 10 were the subjects of the study. These students were considered advanced level. The study was also done to see how many errors exist in their translation from Persian into English and to identify the type of errors .Many subjects referred to their Persian- English dictionaries when they do translation. Some of them actually translated word by word into English. Such phenomenon caused them to come up with awkward expressions in their writings. They took for granted that whatever, written in the dictionary, was absolutely appropriate and correct as well as direct translation. The study revealed that approximately 31% of errors of these subjects resulted from L1 transfer. Other major errors involved intra-lingual errors which was 68%. Results and implications of the findings were further to be discussed.
