Syntactic complexity measures as linguistic correlates of proficiency level in learner Russian
Ch. 3. P. 51–80.
The study reports on the results of a corpus-based evaluation of automatically extracted syntactic complexity measures as indices of Russian as a foreign language (FL) and Russian as a heritage language (HL) writing development. A list of 12 syntactic complexity measures was tested on a set of longitudinal, classroom-based data. The analyses demonstrated that the syntactic complexity measures help delineate four proficiency levels (Intermediate Mid, Intermediate High, Advanced Low and Advanced Mid as established through the ACTFL proficiency guidelines), and that the changes in syntactic complexity indices across levels pattern slightly differently in the FL vs. HL learner groups. Our research confirms that the overall trends in interlanguage development in Russian align with the “complexification” trends found for other second languages.

The article presents an experimental study of the influence of the frequency of spelling errors in a word on its representation in mental lexicon. The hypothesis that frequently misspelled words cause difficulties in reading even if they are written correctly has been proved for native speakers of Russian and English. This paper aims to check ...

Syntactic complexity has been extensively approached in the fields of corpus linguistics and academic discourse studies. However, works focusing on disciplinary variation in terms of linguistic complexity and comparison of professional and novice academic writing are scarce. Addressing these issues is likely to have important implications for EAP/ESP practitioners in terms of selection of target ...

Introduction: the article describes the experience of assessing the readability of regulatory legal acts by analyzing the complexity of their syntactic constructions. According to the subjective perception, normative texts become more complicated from year to year, which makes it difficult to interpret them and understand the legal meaning. Purpose: to test this hypothesis based on ...

Learner corpora serve as one of the most valuable sources of statistical data on learners' errors. For instance, data from foreign-language learners’ corpora can be used for the Second Language Acquisition research. However, corpora representativity strongly depends on the quality of its error markup, which is most frequently carried out manually and thus presents a ...

Learner corpora have great potential as sources of educational material. If a corpus contains annotations of mistakes in student works, it can be of use for the recognition and analysis of the most common error patterns. The error-annotation system of the learner corpus REALEC makes it possible to automatically generate different types of test questions ...
