Error of Ommision
Error of omission is the absence of an item that should appear.

Errors of omission where some element is omitted which should be

present. The learner omits the item that should appear in the good

utterance. Omission has two types of morphemes that are omitted

more than others. They are content morphemes and grammatical

morphemes.1 Content morphemes are morphemes that have

meaning like nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs.


Grammatical morphemes are little words that have minor play

in sentences like noun and verb inflections, articles, auxiliaries, and

preposition.Example: Angelina is an actress. From the explanation

and example above, the word Angelina and actress are content

morphemes because Angelina and actress is noun and has a mayor

meaning. The words is and an are grammatical morphemes because

they are verb auxiliaries and article, and they are also play a minor

meaning in that sentence. Omit grammatical morphemes are more

frequently than content words. It is caused by the grammatical

morphemes are more complex, for example in using tenses, the

learner should be aware of the addition of the ending of the verb (-

ed,-ing,-s) correctly. Omit content morphemes are typically made by

the learner in the early stage. It happens because the learner still

has limitation of the vocabulary which is used in the sentences


b. Error of Addition
Addition errors are the opposite of omissions. They are

charaterized by the presence of an item that must not appear in a

University Press, 1982), p. 150.
well-formed utterance. Based on the explanation for this type of

error, the sub typesare as follows:


a) Double marking is defined as failure to delete certain

items which are required in some linguistic construction.


b) Regularization occurs when a learner uses one role in

linguistic item and applies it for other one. He or she

that the past form of regular verb is added by -ed. Then,

he or she uses it for irregular past form. Such as, the

verb eat not become eated it must be ate.


c) Simple addition; if an addition error is not a double

marking or regularization, it is called a simple addition.

No a particular features characterize simple addition. For

example: The fishes has not live in the oil. The right

answer is the fish has not live in the oil.


c. Misformation
Misformation defined misformation as use of the wrong form

of a structure or morpheme. In other words, the error of using one

grammatical form in the place of another grammatical form or the

learner supplies something, although it is incorrect. For example: It

is an book. This sentence should be It is a book.


d. Misordering
Misordering errors are characterized by the incorrect

placement of a morpheme or group of morpheme in an utterance.

Misordering errors occur when a sentence which its order is

incorrect. The sentence can be right in presented elements, but

wrongly sequenced. For example: what this is? this sentence can be

formed in a simple question: what is this?
