summaryTexts produced by second language learners have long been collected in corpora and such corpora are successfully used in lexically based studies. Yet in contrast to the different types of linguistic annotation schemes which have been developed for other corpora, there so far is only little work on such linguistic abstractions for analyzing and annotating learner corpora. This talk explores aspects of linguistic modeling which could be relevant and the issues which arise when trying to apply them to learner corpora. Complementing the language explicitly given in the corpus, we also consider the need for information about the task which resulted in the corpus and the learners who produced it for interpreting and annotating learner data.
