Exploring the Influence of Spelling Errors on Lexical Variation Measures (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Lexical richness measures such as Type-Token Ratio and Yule's K are often used for learner English analysis and assessment but are unstable because of spelling errors. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a dictionary to calculate the difference between TTR and Yule’s K caused by spelling errors and to deepen the understanding of the influence of spelling errors on them. |
| Outcome: | The proposed measures are based on English learner corpora of three groups and estimate their values before and after spelling errors are manually corrected. |
