Abstract
This thesis presents an analysis of typing errors provided by 25 native English-speaking participants. The participants were asked to complete a typing test using the online tool Key Hero, which resulted in 25 text units, each containing 364 words. The texts contained data on errors made by the participants, both corrected and uncorrected, which were then isolated and compiled into a typing error corpus. The corpus was further subdivided into the corrected and the uncorrected typing error subcorpora. Errors in each subcorpora were classified using the classification presented in Thomas Berg’s 2002 article “Slips of the typewriter key”, and the classified error data compared to the data presented by Berg in hopes of replicating the results of his study. The results of the thesis partially matched those of Berg’s, with most discrepancies being attributed to corpus bias, human judgement, and source material restrictions. The conclusion reiterated Berg's, indicating that typing most closely resembles writing when it comes to error production.
