Abstract :
Correction of errors is a major part of the editor´s task. However, the definition of what is an error, and what is correct, is not clearcut; rule transformations and reader context can affect the dividing line between the two. The author examines the concept of error from phenomenological and rhetorical perspectives, and suggests a model based on communication economics
