Abstract

Writing is one of the most challenge tasks for EFL learners. Intralingual errors in L2 writing greatly reflects leaner’s target language proficiency. This study aimed to identify different types of intralingual errors and determined the most frequent one in the augmentations written by Chinese university students. The research analysis is based on error analysis and seven intralingual categories proposed by Carl James. 49 intralingual errors were distinguished. Based on the examination of grammatical features, those intralingual errors were classified into those seven categories after analyzing. The most frequent intralingual error is misanalysis (37.78%), followed by overlooking cooccurrence (24.49%). And the grammatical feature of article misuse (40%) or emission and noninfinite verb misuse (41.67%) take the largest proportion in misanalysis and overlooking cooccurrence, respectively. The researchers deuced that the ignorance of article rules is the main reason of misanalysis error and misunderstanding of sentence structure and noninfinite verb forms accounts for the overlooking cooccurrence error. Based on the research findings, EFL teachers could improve their teaching methods to help students reduce intralingual errors in writing.
