AB This research tries to carry on, by using the model of error analysis (EA), a transversal study of the lexical errors committed by students of English as a Second Language in a written corpus at university level. The main aims are to offer an inventory of lexical errors made by Spanish speaking students of English. Secondly, this study aims at presenting a taxonomy of errors at the lexical level, based on linguistic and descriptive criteria, that is, dealing with one of the linguistic subsystems, the lexical one, and etiological criteria, that is, to describe the cause of error, intralinguistic errors and interlinguistic ones. Besides, this analysis categorizes intralinguistic and interlinguistic lexical errors according to the strategy used by the learner. Interlinguistic errors would be classified in transference of the signifier and transference of the meaning. In the same way, and depending on the strategy used, intralinguistic errors can be categorized into simplification, analogy and linguistic development. Finally, the results will be used to offer a statistical analysis which shows error frequency and, consequently, some conclusions will be extracted.
