This study traced the language errors found in 140 research papers published in Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan for Legal Studies within the period of October 2020 until May 2024. Moreover, the researchers classified and analyzed the errors then proposed plausible causes for these errors according to the following language levels: syntactic, morphological, structural and stylistic. The researchers also probed common language and spelling mistakes in connection to the errors under analysis. Towards that end, the study utilized a descriptive, analytical model.
The study explicated its significance, objectives, framework and previous studies; afterward, it delved into its two core sections: the theoretical study and the practical study. The first part focused on visible phenomenon while the second part covered language error analysis at all levels.
Ultimately, the analysis revealed that language errors within this legal context may be attributed to several factors amongst which are: receptive education, inadequate comprehension of language rules, lack of language skills, insufficient knowledge of proper grammar, in addition to common language mistakes made by authors.
