Abstract
The objective of this paper was exploring errors in word order in the essays of secondary school students and bachelor students of the English language and literature. The instrument that was used for this study were 25 essays of secondary school students and 30 essays of bachelor students of the English language. There were three research questions that had to be investigated. The first was to categorize the word order errors and explore which sort of error occurred most frequently. The results indicate that the most frequent errors were an incorrect position of adverbials and inversion in embedded questions. Another type of error that was quite frequent in the secondary school students’ essays was omission of the formal subject. Secondly, the essays of the groups were compared and it was concluded that two types of errors occurred in both groups of students’ essays – inversion in embedded questions and incorrect position of adverbials. The results have also shown that the BA students made less mistakes (10) than the secondary school students (21). Thirdly, the source of errors was investigated. Namely, all errors were either interlingual or intralingual. That means that students relied too much on their mother tongue and therefore they neglected all the differences that exist between their mother tongue and the target language. Also, they overgeneralized the rules for word order and they were not aware of some restrictions that had to be considered.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio istražiti pogreške u redu riječi u rečenici u pisanim uradcima učenika srednje škole i studenata preddiplomskog studija Engleskog jezika i književnosti. Instrument koji je korišten za ovo istraživanje su 25 eseja učenika srednje škole i 30 eseja studenata preddiplomskog studija Engleskoga jezika i književnosti. Kako bi se to istražilo, tri istraživačka pitanja su postavljena. Najprije je trebalo svrstati pogreške u kategorije i vidjeti koje vrste pogrešaka su najučestalije. Rezultati su pokazali da su najčešće pogreške bile stavljanje priložnih oznaka na pogrešno mjesto u rečenici i inverzija u pitanjima koja su umetnuta. Također veoma učestala pogreška kod eseja učenika srednje škole je bilo izostavljanje formalnog subjekta. Sljedeće istraživačko pitanje je bilo vezano za usporedbu pogrešaka u esejima obje grupe. Zaključak je da su se dvije vrste pogrešaka pojavljivale u esejima obje grupe – inverzija u pitanjima koja su umetnuta i stavljanje priložnih oznaka na pogrešno mjesto u rečenici. Istraživanje je također pokazalo da su učenici preddiplomskog studija napravili manje pogrešaka (10) nego učenici srednje škole (21). Zadnje istraživačko pitanje je bilo istražiti koji je uzrok pogrešaka. Dakle, najčešće se radilo o međujezičnim i unutarjezičnim pogreškama. Drugim riječima, učenici su zanemarili razlike u pravilima o redu riječi u rečenici između njihovog materinjeg jezika i jezika koji uče ili nisu bili svjesni istih te su stoga napravili pogrešku. Odnosno, složili su rečenicu prema onim pravilima prema kojima bi to učinili da su istu slagali na materinjem jeziku. Također nisu bili svjesni iznimaka od pravila koja su naučili ranije pa su tako pravilo primjenjivali na isti način i u svakoj situaciji.
