Summary of the paper

Title A 2nd Longitudinal Corpus for Children's Writing with Enhanced Output for Specific Spelling Patterns
Authors Kay Berkling
Abstract This paper describes the collection of three longitudinal Corpora of German school children's weekly writing in German, called H2 (H1 is available via LDC and contains some of the same students' writing 2 years previously), E2 (E1 is not public), and ERK1. The texts were written within the normal classroom setting. Texts of children whose parents signed the permission to donate the texts to science were collected and transcribed. The corpus consists of the elicitation techniques, an overview of the data collected and the transcriptions of the texts both with and without spelling errors, aligned on a word by word basis. In addition, the hand-written texts were scanned in. The corpus is available for research via Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC). When using this Corpus, researchers are strongly encouraged to make additional annotations and improvements and return it to the public domain via LDC, especially since this effort was unfunded.
