metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article presents an experimental study of the influence of the frequency of spelling errors
  in a word on its representation in mental lexicon. The hypothesis that frequently misspelled
  words cause difficulties in reading even if they are written correctly has been proved for native
  speakers of Russian and English. This paper aims to check the hypothesis on the basis of
  the learner corpus REALEC (Russian Error-Annotated Learner English Corpus), comprising
  texts by Russian L1 learners of English. The most frequently misspelled words collected from
  the corpus were used for the experiment that consisted in recognising correct and incorrect spellings. We analysed the influence of the following factors: the frequency of spelling errors
  in a word, its frequency in the corpus, entropy (the measure reflecting the amount of effort
  needed to choose between the variants of spelling), type of error. The results demonstrate the
  significance of entropy and frequency in the corpus, which corresponds to the findings of previous
  studies. A particular error type, substitution, has been found to be significant. Its special
  role corresponds both to the greatest difficulties this error type caused during the experiment
  and the results of previous research into written speech production of L2 English speakers,
  according to which substitution was considered the most frequent error type. The lower significance
  of the frequency of errors factor in comparison with the corresponding studies of
  L1 English can be explained by differences in language environments, in which learners of
  English are less exposed to incorrect spellings.
