The study deals with the problem of error annotation when assessing written texts of students learning Slovak as a foreign/second language (L2). The concept of word order error is discussed against the framework of error analysis and the notion of grammaticality/acceptability of language structure. The problems of identifying word order errors are manifested by enclitics´ placement in the sentence structures. Slovak belongs to languages that follow the Wackernagel´s Rule and its clitic elements belong to the category of second-position clitics (2P), however, Wackernagel´s Rule is more a tendency than an exceptionless, strict law. Erroneous usage of enclitic components in L2 can be projected against reconstructed learner´s utterance, i.e., explicit statement of target language structure, called target hypothesis. To determine target structure, profound and sometimes even expertise knowledge about investigated language phenomenon in L1 is necessary, including both the knowledge of rule (ideal norm) as well as the distribution patterns of language structure (real norm) which can be stipulated through corpus data. The study examines the disputable cases of enclitics placement against the norms described in the work by J. Mistrík (1966) and verifies them by corpus data.
