5.3.3. Errors which have been ignored<br />

The total number <strong>of</strong> <strong>errors</strong> in ngps amounted to 1,021<br />

<strong>of</strong> several types. Only 302 were included as the ones described .<br />

as wbt <strong>an</strong>d i rg kinds, for they are the ones which<br />

basically<br />

reflect the influence <strong>of</strong> the sequence <strong>of</strong> the English structural<br />

elements on the rendition <strong>of</strong> other ngps in Portuguese. Thus,<br />

when we refer to a wbt error we refer to the way <strong>students</strong><br />

have<br />

rendered equivalent Portuguese ngps in which we c<strong>an</strong> detect<br />

problems involving marked evidence <strong>of</strong> that influence, either in<br />

the way <strong>students</strong> have perceived (m) or h in their tr<strong>an</strong>slations.<br />

We are interested in <strong>an</strong>alysing<br />

those tr<strong>an</strong>slations where we c<strong>an</strong><br />

detect exponents <strong>of</strong> the noun <strong>an</strong>d adjective classes involved;<br />

except for the morpheme-bound tr<strong>an</strong>slation examples <strong>of</strong> adjectives<br />

ending in -ing, as in examples'numbers 5 <strong>an</strong>d 6, on page 73 we<br />

have ignored other types <strong>of</strong> <strong>errors</strong> as the following:<br />
