ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of vocabulary error. The subjects were 35 deaf college students who use sign language. They composed an essay about weekend, friend, hobby, and family. Error types were classified into replacement, omission and addition, then replacement errors were divided into formative, semantic, syntactic, expressive and strategical error. The results were as follows. These errors of deaf students were analyzed in relation to interlanguage. First, replacement errors were made the most frequently, then were followed by addition errors, omission errors. For the types of replacement error, expressive errors were made the most frequently, then were followed by semantic, syntactic and formative errors. They didn’t make a strategical error. Second, deaf college students made errors in relation to their sign language(interlingual error) and the accurate use of Korean words(intralingual error). This vocabulary error analysis could assess the level of Korean words of deaf college students from the viewpoint of interlanguage. These results of error analysis suggest that it is needed to develop more effective methods of vocabulary learning for deaf students.
