We ask non-experts (second language learners of Swedish) and two groups of experts (teachers of Swedish as a second/foreign language and CEFR experts) to rank multi-word expressions in a crowdsourcing experiment. We find that the resulting rankings by all the three tested groups correlate to a very high degree, which suggests that judgments produced in a comparative setting are not influenced by professional insights into Swedish as a second language.}, journal = {Northern European Journal of Language Technology (NEJLT)}, author = {Alfter, David and Lindström Tiedemann, Therese and Volodina, Elena}, year = {2021}, volume = {7}, number = {1}, }
