Such errors result from the learner's lack of knowledge of the correct rules of the target language variety. [1] A significant distinction is generally made [ by whom? ] between errors (systematic deviations) and mistakes ( speech performance errors ) which are not treated the same from a linguistic viewpoint.
Chomsky (1965) made a distinguishing explanation of competence and performance on which, later on, the identification of mistakes and errors will be possible, Chomsky stated that ‘’We thus make a fundamental distinction between competence (the speaker-hearer's knowledge of his language) and performance (the actual use of language in concrete situations)’’ ( 1956, p. 4).

[2] These are erroneous generalizations or simplified language rules, which may be classified as phonological fossilization, lexical fossilization, syntactic ...
The goal of acceptability rating studies is to gather insights into the mental grammars of participants. As the grammaticality of a linguistic construction is an abstract construct that cannot be accessed directly, this type of tasks is usually not called grammaticality, but acceptability judgment.
