Annotation

Essays are manually pseudonymized, normalized and correction annotated for ortographical, lexical, morphological, syntactical and punctuation errors according to the guidelines available at [1]. Essays are also linguistically annotated (POS tagging, lemmatization, dependency annotation) with Sparv. Personal learner metadata is also available.

Caveats

Data collection is limited to a small geographical area and a short period of time. Although several language backgrounds are represented, the corpus is very unbalanced in this sense and as a consequence not well suited for native language identification tasks.

Intended uses

The corpus is primarily intended for Second Language Acquisition studies and development of Grammatical Error Correction and automatic pseudonymization systems.
