研究実績の概要 |
During the last six months I have completed the design of the learner corpus and have started to collect data at some universities.
1) With regard to the design of the corpus. First, I have established the list of variables that are relevant for our study, concerning the learners and the written tasks. I have designed a learner profile questionnaire to be administered to students majoring in Spanish at Kansai Gaidai (around 500 in total) and a collection of written tasks to be carried out by the students.
2) With regard to the collection of data, at Kyoto University I have obtained the following from the students of Spanish as a second foreign language : four compositions for each of the 280 students, along with information about the linguistic background of the students.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
From April, data is being collected at Kansai Gaidai from students majoring in Spanish. Specifically, learner profiles from around 500 students, and two written tasks per semester. In addition, I will search for collaboration from other universities from where I can obtain data.
During this coming year, the data that has been collected in paper form will be input into electronic form and stored in a database. The texts written by learners will be processed further. First, correcting the ortographic mistakes in the texts. Second, enriching the texts with lemma part-of-speech information with the help of automatic tools, so that one can make complex searches on them. Finally, uploading the texts to a corpus search system and distributing the corpus under a Creative Commons License BY-NC-SA.
