Automatic Detection of Gender and Number Agreement Errors in Spanish Texts Written by Japanese Learners
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the creation of a grammar to automatically detect agreement errors (gender and number) in Spanish texts written by Japanese learners. The grammar has been written using the Constraint Grammar formalism (Karlsson et al., 1995), and uses as input the morphosyntactic analysis provided by the Spanish parser HISPAL (Bick, 2006). For developing and testing the grammar, a learner corpus of 25,000 words has been manually annotated with agreement error tags. Both the grammar and the data from the corpus serve us to draw some conclusions about the characteristics of agreement errors in Japanese learners’ Spanish.

Phonological Awareness Impact on Articulatory Accuracy of the Spanish Liquid [r] in Japanese FL Learners of Spanish
Foreign language learners tend to avoid phonological difficulties and simply transfer sounds whether from their L1 or any pre-existing L2. Phonological awareness (PA) gives students an active role in understanding their own potential in improving pronunciation through several methods. However, such methods are likely to be restricted to only passive learning methods, such as repetition, reading...

Portuguese is a less resourced language in what concerns foreign language learning. Aiming to inform a module of a system designed to support scientific written production of Spanish native speakers learning Portuguese, we developed an approach to automatically generate a lexicon of wrong words, reproducing language transfer errors made by such foreign learners. Each item of the artificially ge...

متن کاملAutomatic Identification of Learners' Language Background Based on Their Writing in Czech
The goal of this study is to investigate whether learners’ written data in highly inflectional Czech can suggest a consistent set of clues for automatic identification of the learners’ L1 background. For our experiments, we use texts written by learners of Czech, which have been automatically and manually annotated for errors. We define two classes of learners: speakers of Indo-European languag...
