Corpora: error tagging of learners' English

[Jerker Lindblom]

The NativeEnglish Writing Assistant can be found on L&H's web site under the
name CorrectEnglish which is the OEM-version.
It does indeed address language specific problems as well as problems common
to all L2-users.
A great thing about NE or CE is that it is possible to personalize, or
tailormake, to one's own personal English proficiency, this to a much higher
extent than Word's grammar checker.
Once the user is confident with mastering a specific error, the individual
rule in the checker can be shut off, or the whole ruletype consisting of all
similar rules can be shut off (sessionwise or long term). It is also
possible to choose between different formality levels depending on the type
of text one produces.
