Abstract
This paper attempts to highlight the
concept of errors from the perspective of
structural linguistics. The latter assumes
that learning takes place as a result of
stimuli-and-responses. In the context of
language learning the data, which the
linguist may observe, concern utterances
(responses). Influenced by the findings of
Behaviorist psychology, structural linguists
consider language as a set of habits which
can be acquired through the process of
imitation, repetition and practice. In their
turn, these habits fall into two types: good
habits (correct sentences) and bad habits
(erroneous sentences). Good habits should
be reinforced and bad habits are to be
eradicated. The main aim of this study is to
introduce the concept language errors from
the standpoint of structural linguistics.
This school uses the process of error
analysis as a means for predicting,
identifying, explaining and finally getting
rid of language irregularities.
