theory used on this research was surface strategy taxonomy by Dulay et al 1982 omission, error of addition, error of misordering, and error of misformation. The
results showed that the total numbers of errors written on clothes were 40 errors. The most dominant error type found was omission error.
The research that is going to be conducted here has similar topic with the several previous researches above in that it deals with error analysis. The first and
second research even discuss about verb errors committed by second language learners that are almost the same with this research. The second and third research
definitely provides many contributions in making this research from the theory applied, that is surface strategy taxonomy. However, this research directly
concerns with verb and verb phrase deviation in the fan fiction story produced by a foreign language learner entitled
“The Big Five: Knight Princess” published in wattpad. From the analysis, the total verb and verb phrase errors will be found.
Then, the suggested expressions from the erroneous form are shown.
2.2 Theoretical Review
2.2.1 Second Language Acquisition and Second Language Learning
Acquiring language is a process in which people learn a language subconsciously. People are seemingly not aware that they acquire the language as
they grow as Krashen’s 1982: 10 statement “language acquisition is a subconscious process; language acquirers are not usually aware of the fact that
they are acquiring language, but are only aware of the fact that they are using the language for communication
”. This process occurs when they obtain their first language because the language is only in daily life without knowing the real
correct form. It happens in environment naturally and they directly practice their first language instead of theoretical learning.
After the maturational process, people are going to begin acquiring and learning another language by means of gaining new aims from the language that is
totally different from their first language. Corder 1981:6 proposes that “…
learning a second language normally begins only after the maturational process is largely completed”. Besides, Gass and Selinker 2008: 7 encourage and simplify
learning a second language as “the process of learning another language after the
native language has been learned ”.
In fact, acquiring and learning a language do not have similar meaning. It has been stated above that the acquisition is an unconscious process, naturally
happened, and associated with people for long time in social interaction. Whereas, learning refers to
“a more conscious process of accumulating knowledge of the features, such as vocabulary and grammar” Yule, 2006: 163.
The contact and use of the first language that normally happen in environment everyday can cause the interference of the first language that occur
in the process of second language learning. It is supported by Dulay et al 1982: 13 that state “the quality of the language environment is of paramount
impo rtance to success in learning a new language”. Another reason why the
interference often takes place is the second language that is usually limited to practice. In most cases, people have no opportunity to contact a second language
outside classes or institutions. These reasons will make second language learners often apply their background knowledge of their first language in producing the
target language.
