In interlanguage, the transitional state reaching from one's native language to a given target language, phonological, morphological, syntactic, lexical, sociocultural, or psycholinguistic errors may be generated and systematized by the process of fossilization.

Johansson, Stig – English Language Teaching Journal, 1975
Error analysis has been presented as a means of "finding a shorter way" in the analysis of learners' difficulties in foreign languages.
