The ngps which have caused wbt and i rg errors plus
omission are the following: THE ONLY OBJECT (T7P) and 'BUILT IN'
STRESS (T3P); in the ngp UNIQUE PROPERTIES (T3P) other types of
errors pluss omission have been produced. Thus, in 66,67%
of those
three ngps wbt and i rg errors have occurred together with
omission; in 33,33% only omission and other types of errors
have
been
produced.
In. the specific texts we have seen that the
percentage
of omission and other*types of errors as well as omission plus
wbt and i rg types of errors has been almost equal. The table
below shows the percentage of omission
plus wbt and i rg types of
errors in the same ngps, in the specific texts translated by both
groups of students, and also omission plus other types of errors
in the same ngps, in the texts
mentioned.

. In the non-specific texts, only in the first text
studied, EDUCATION IN BRAZIL (TIC) omission and wbt and irg
errors have been produced. The ngp which has caused
omission
and wbt and i_rg errors was THE COUNTRY'S UNIVERSITIES (TIC) in
which another type of error was also made. Thus, in the same
ngp,
wbt- errors, irg ones, omission as well
as another type of error
