 Description

The aim of the VESPA learner corpus project is to build a large collection of disciplinary writing by L2 English university students across registers, disciplines and degrees of writer expertise. In its first release, VESPA consists of 941 texts written by university students (mainly with Dutch, French, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish L1) in linguistic, literature, and business communication courses. The majority of the texts are reports and research papers but the corpus also contains critiques/evaluations, proposals and response papers.
