In linguistics, "error" refers to a deviation from the norms of a language, which can occur at various levels—phonetic, morphological, syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic. Errors typically arise when speakers or writers do not adhere to the grammatical rules, vocabulary, or pronunciation standards of a language. These deviations can occur in both first language (L1) and second language (L2) contexts.
