paper CO_ColombianAppliedLinguisticsJournaltxt199 - : characterized by grammatical complexity (Eggins, 2004), this page of SG is easy to read because, for example, it is mostly written in active voice (only two examples of passive voice are found) and makes little use of nominalizations: "provide your audience with a better understanding" (M3, paragraph 2 ). In brief, this page of SG draws on several semiotic resources to enact interactions such as inviting students to write annotations. It expresses positions and attitudes toward who is addressed, mainly, a casual and friendly pedagogical orientation, and toward what is being represented–the area of rhetoric which is presented as accessible and engaging to the extent that readers are positioned as practitioners of rhetorical analysis: "Your job as a rhetorical analysts is..." (M3, paragraph 2).

paper corpusRLAtxt167 - : Accuracy can be defined as the absence of deviations from a particular linguistic norm, it is "the ability to be free from errors while using language to communicate in either writing or speech" (^[26]Wolfe-Quintero, Inagaki & Kim, 1998:33). On the other hand, grammatical complexity means that a wide variety of basic and sophisticated structures are available and can be accessed quickly (Wolfe-Quintero et al., 1998). Grammatical complexity is important ''because of the assumption that language development entails, among other processes, the growth of an L2 learner's syntactic repertoire and her or his ability to use that repertoire appropriately in a variety of situations'' (^[27]Ortega, 2003: 492 ). This means that learners have both basic and sophisticated structures at their disposal as their grammatical abil ity and proficiency increase, and that (it is assumed) L2 writers can then choose the structure that best fits the context and the purpose of the communicative situation

paper corpusRLAtxt167 - : ^[38]Bardovi-Harlig and Bofman (1989) examined the relationship between grammatical complexity, and overall accuracy in the written English of two groups of advanced adult foreign language learners divided according to their performance on a placement test (1989:20 ). The analysis of errors revealed that the two groups could be distinguished by the number of errors they produced, but the errors they produced showed the same distribution among error types (p. 23). The smallest difference between groups was shown in syntactic errors. The greatest differ ence between groups was their production of lexical-idiomatic errors, which was significant. The difference in morphological errors was only weakly significant. Both groups produced the greatest number of errors in grammatical morphemes, with fewer errors in lexical choice, and the smallest number of errors in syntax (1989:24).
