Subject: PELIC - New Publicly Available Learner Corpus

 
The ELI Data Mining Group at the University of Pittsburgh is pleased to
announce the release of the University of Pittsburgh English Language
Institute Corpus (PELIC). 

PELIC is a publicly-available 4.2-million-word learner corpus of written
texts. Collected over seven years in the University of Pittsburgh’s Intensive
English Program, these texts were produced by over 1100 students with a wide
range of linguistic backgrounds and proficiency levels. PELIC is longitudinal,
offering opportunities for tracking development in a natural classroom
setting.

Further information about PELIC and research based on these data can be found
at the PELIC homepage: https://eli-data-mining-group.github.io/Pitt-ELI-Corpus

The entire dataset is available for download at the PELIC GitHub repository,
stored in csv files: https://github.com/ELI-Data-Mining-Group/PELIC-dataset

In addition to the data, the PELIC repository contains tools for lexical
analysis (concordancing, lexical sophistication, etc.) and tutorials on how to
access and analyze the data.
