Abstract

In pronouncing words correctly, people should consider the sound system inherent in a particular language. Studying pronunciation is essential for enhancing students' language abilities in English. It holds a significant position in English instruction. According to Candlin and Chrichton, pronunciation is not only necessary for speaking but also for effective communication and conveying meaning in a clear and comprehensible manner. In other words, when a speaker communicates a message, it should be received by the listener with clarity and understanding. However, there are instances where the listener may not comprehend or appear perplexed by what the speaker has said. The research encompasses the researcher's strategy for data collection and analysis. According to research design refers to the researcher's plan for proceeding within the specific context of the study. In this research, a descriptive study with a qualitative approach was employed. Qualitative research aims to describe phenomena using words as the primary means of analysis. as for the conclusion of the discussion These minimal pairs are important for illustrating the distinct vowel phonemes in the English language and their role in conveying meaning. and help explain sound variations, sound changes, and sound distribution patterns in the language. By studying phonological rules, we can understand the principles underlying the sound system of language and how it sounds-these sounds interact in different linguistic contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of psycholinguistics in elucidating the underlying cognitive mechanisms that give rise to language learning errors in second language acquisition. Rather than viewing errors as mere deviations from target language norms, this study interprets them as manifestations of mental processes activated during language comprehension and production. Employing a qualitative documentary research design, this investigation synthesizes findings from scholarly books, journal articles, and previous empirical studies related to psycholinguistics and error analysis. The analysis reveals that lexical, grammatical, and phonological errors frequently emerge due to constraints in lexical retrieval, phonological encoding, working memory capacity, and the developmental nature of interlanguage. The findings further demonstrate that language errors follow systematic patterns shaped by interactions among first-language influence, incomplete internalization of second-language rules, and cognitive processing limitations. This study concludes that psycholinguistic perspectives offer a comprehensive and explanatory framework for understanding the mental operations that contribute to the emergence, recurrence, and potential fossilization of learner errors. These insights provide valuable implications for instructional practices that aim to address the cognitive origins of learners’ difficulties in second language development.
