Initially bounded from Ferris (2005) error analysis model, the researcher analyzed the most recurrent errors that students committed in succeeding writing activities that lasted until the end of the first semester. The result of which was the basis for the theory evolved. The findings showed that the students commonly committed lexical, mechanical, syntactical and morphological errors since most of their errors revealed exceptionally high values in these categories thus; the researcher concluded that students would likely fail to<br>construct written discourses correctly because of these failures. A theory on analyzing errors among written discourses was evolved in order to help students improve their writing skills and combat chances of committing errors.</p> <p><br>Keywords: Discursive Analysis, Corpora, Theory Evolved</p&gt;}, number={6}, journal={KnE Social Sciences}, author={Purcia, E L}, year={2018}, month={Jun.}, pages={400–405} }
