Abstract

Error analysis is a very different process for humans who are not only sapiens and Loquens but also homo errands. The study analyses the errors in the post of female celebrities on Instagram. This study aimed to identify syntactical errors and identify the causes of these syntactical errors committed by Pakistani female celebrities in their Instagram posts. The methods and model used in this research are mixed methods and Coder’s model (1970). The mixed method includes both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data was collected in the form of Instagram posts. The technique of sampling used in this research is purposive random sampling. Ten posts were selected through purposive random sampling. The results of this study reveal the most common syntactic errors made by Pakistani celebrities. This research depicted that the most regularly detected errors are punctuation errors. Although both interlanguage and intralanguage influences were found to be causing syntactical errors, intralanguage errors were more prevalent compared to interlanguage errors in their writing. The detection of errors in Pakistanis female celebrities' Instagram posts will facilitate them to improve their basic writing skills. This study will be a fruitful gateway for opening the doors for future researchers who want to contribute to the Error analysis’s field.
