| Research Abstract |
The present project aims at collecting and analyzing Japanese sub-corpus of ICLE (International corpus of Learner English) data.
ICLE was launched by Prof Granger at Louvain University in Belgium in 1990. ICLE now contains over 200 thousand words of argumentative essays by advanced level university students from over 20 language backgrounds. In the fall of 2002, the first CD-ROM was published and in the near future a second one, which includes Japanese sub-corpus, will be published. At the same time, native-speaker data collected under the same procedure is now available on the Web through our group. We are now working on a new error-tagging project.
We also joined the collection of LINDSEI (Louvain International Database of English Interlanguage) data, which contains advanced-level university students' English spoken data. France, Italy, Spain, China and Japan have completed the aimed fifty samples already. ESL and native speaker data will soon be available. The LINDSEI data is not yet accessible by the public. However, Japanese sub-corpus will be available on the Internet in the year 2003.
The number of researchers who are interested in learner corpus is rapidly growing. In responding such demands, we'd like to continue developing our project in the coming years.
