Syntactic Annotation of Learner Corpora

Syntactic annotation of learner corpora is useful for investigating the grammatical properties of learner language. We discuss two approaches to syntactic annotation based on different methodological choices. One approach, recently proposed in the literature, is the manual annotation of learner language with dependency relations. Another approach, which we present as an alternative, is based on automatic parsing of a ‘correct’ version with an L2
