[Corpora-List] Non-English [L2] learner corpora

[Linda Bawcom]

Dear Mark,

There is web site called ERA Educational Research Abstracts. You can use it
free for a 24 hour trial. I typed in second language acquisition AND
children and got 718 hits. So I don't have time to go through them all :-),
but you might find something there.

Best wishes,

Thanks to the 5-6 people who have already responded to my previous query
regarding non-English learner corpora.  I should have specified that I'm
looking for *L2* corpora -- i.e. corpora of (preferably) teenagers or
adults learning Spanish, French, Russian, etc --  rather than corpora of
L1 acquisition of these languages by children.

In other words, something like ICLE
(http://www.fltr.ucl.ac.be/fltr/germ/etan/cecl/Cecl-Projects/Icle/icle.h
tm), but for a language other than English.

Thanks again.
