Abstract

With the aim of storing learner corpora as well as information about the Basque language students whowrote the texts, two different but complementary databases were created: ERREUS and IRAKAZI.Linguistic and technical information (error description, error category, tools for detection/correction…)will be stored in ERREUS, while IRAKAZI will be filled in with psycholinguistic information (errordiagnosis, characteristics of the writer, grammatical competence…). These two databases will be thebasis for constructing i) a robust Basque grammar corrector and, ii) a computer-assisted language-learning environment for advising on the use of Basque syntax.
