L2Lex-AdjAdv is a word list with adjectives and adverbs used productively and receptively in teaching Swedish as a second language. The list is based on two corpora: SweLL-pilot, containing essays fron language learners, and COCTAILL, containing texts from course books used at courses for teaching language learners. Texts in the two corpora were manually annotated with CEFR levels. These levels have been projected to each vocabulary item observed in the texts. The list is, therefore, non-prescriptive, i.e. descriptive in character.
Every item in the list contains linguistic information, that was partly automatically assigned, with certain categories manually checked.
Frequences in the list come also from the two corpora, i.e.: COCTAILL, and SweLL-pilot, see articles below:

It is possible to interactively browse the list on the Lärka-platform (https://spraakbanken.gu.se/larka/svlp) under Swedish L2 profiles -> Lexical profile -> Adjectival & Adverbial structure. There, it is possible to filter the list for different categories and download it in full or a the selection.
