In Table 7 we see that wbt arid i rg errors have
been
made in ngps of five and six words; thus, the correlation test
is to be applied to. ngps of two, three, four, five and six
words,
although
the number of errors, either wbt or i rg ones, has been
very small.in ngps of 5 and 6 words.
Table 8 shows the relation between the length of ngps
and the wbt and irg error rates per student, in each
ngp,
separately in the non-specific texts, involving both groups of
students.

The correlation test was applied to the number of
words compounding
the ngps and the error rates per students, in
each ngp, for each type of error in the non-specific texts. The
