Abstract(in English) | Non-native speakers of languages often make errors. Although pursuing accuracy is important in language learning or teaching, knowing what types of errors interfere with communication and what types do not would be more beneficial for efficiently enhancing communicative competence. In this paper, we focus attention on errors as a key feature that must have an influence on the intelligibility of a sentence. If we could find any correlation between intelligibility and errors, this will be quite beneficial to describe learners' communicative competence. We will do this first by having native speakers of English check the learners' spoken data and measure the intelligibility of each sentence. Consequently, we add error tags to the data by hand, and then, clustered the error-tagged sentences into groups depending on their intelligibility. Finally, we extract the feature quantity of each type of error for each cluster. |
