| Abstract | This paper describes the Error-Annotated German Learner Corpus (EAGLE), acorpus of beginning learner German with grammatical error annotation. Thecorpus contains online workbook and and hand-written essay data from learnersin introductory German courses at The Ohio State University. We introduce anerror typology developed for beginning learners of German that focuses onlinguistic properties of lexical items present in the learner data and presentthe detailed error typologies for selection, agreement, and word order errors. The corpus uses an error annotation format that extends the multi-layerstandoff format proposed by Luedeling et al. (2005) to include incrementaltarget hypotheses for each error. In this format, each annotated errorincludes information about the location of tokens affected by the error, theerror type, and the proposed target correction. The multi-layer standoffformat allows us to annotate ambiguous errors with more than one possibletarget correction and to annotate the multiple, overlapping errors common inbeginning learner productions. |
