CItA: an L1 Italian Learners Corpus to Study the Development of Writing Competence
Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2016)
Abstract
In this paper, we present the CItA corpus (Corpus Italiano di Apprendenti L1), a collection of essays written by Italian L1 learners collected during the first and second year of lower secondary school. The corpus was built in the framework of an interdisciplinary study jointly carried out by computational linguistics and experimental pedagogists and aimed at tracking the development of written language competence over the years and students' background information.
