French, Gary
World Englishes, v24 n3 p371-382 Aug 2005

If there is, are these errors becoming part of an accepted, standardized Japanese English Results show there is little acceptance of third person "-s", article and plural errors in student writing, but there is a measured degree of the acceptance of errors with regards to sentence combining and sentence fragments, omission of subject, generalizing or obscuring of subjects, and omission of expected superlatives.
