This paper examines the role of diction and expression through error analysis in English language of L2 novice writers’ academic writing in interdisciplinary texts of IT & Computer sciences and Business & Management sciences. Though the importance of vocabulary in L2 academic discourse is widely recognized, there has been little research focusing on diction and expression at higher education level. A corpus of 40 introductions of the published research articles, downloaded from the journals (e.g., 20 from IT & Computer sciences and 20 Business & Management sciences) authored by L2 novice writers, was analyzed to determine lexico-grammatical errors from the texts by applying Markin4 method of Error Analysis. ‘Rewrites’ in italics letters is an attempt to demonstrate English language flexibility, infinite vastness and richness in diction and expression, comparing it with the excerpts taken from the corpus.  \nKeywords: diction & expression, academic writing, error analysis, lexico-grammatical errors  \n1. Introduction  \nAcademic writers and searchers, especially those associated with the field of applied linguistics and education from across the globe have generally recognized that, among four functional skills of English language, writing remains oneof most difficult tasks for L2 novice writers (Hartley, 2002) cited (Hartley & Braithwaite, 1989) . Research writing in the higher education context demands using the specific academic language to analyze, interpret and evaluate knowledge in order to develop an argument, to quote a theory and elaborate a conclusion by adhering to logical order, employing a correct terminology, using texts in its original form, contributing suggestions and interpreting facts.  \nAcademics concerned with the field of English language and applied linguistics of L2 learners’ writing at higher education level deem punctuations, vocabulary (diction) grammar besides the ability to elucidate structure and interpret facts are some of the most serious difficulties faced by L2 novice writers (Lea, 1994; Lea & Street, 1998 and Hartley, 1998) .  \nThrough various means and methods applied in classifying a number of errors concerning error analysis, almost all the previous studies carried out in various settings of Europe, Africa, Australia, Gulf States and Asia at different levels have found nearly similar nature of difficulties faced by L2 learners. Most frequent and common error-types in their written assignments analyzed are: punctuations, subject-verb-agreement, redundancy, prepositions, spellings, un-parallel sentence-construction, tense-sequence, pronouns, etc. in addition to semantic, syntactic and lexico problems. However, there has been little focus on diction (applying vocabulary with contextualized meaning) and expression (style; arrangement of words) . Thus, the present study has emphasized, besides other types of error-categories through error analysis (EA), diction and expression in the texts of L2 novice writers from their published work in order to justify the author’s hypothesis that diction and exp","cbCaifdbHzub0AQo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifdbHzub0AQo","pdf",636900,"English","# Abstract\n# 1.
