    A quick query, and a response to a previous query:

    QUERY:
    Is anyone aware of learner corpora of languages other than English --
    i.e. corpora of students learning Spanish, German, or Chinese? I'm
    writing a review of a book dealing with learner corpora (in general),
    and am somewhat surprised that virtually every article that I can find
    on the topic of learner corpora deals exclusively with their use in an
    EFL/ESL/TESOL setting. I just want to make sure I haven't missed
    something.

    SUMMARY OF RESPONSES TO PREVIOUS QUERY:
    Nearly a month ago I posted a query regarding projects that had
    attempted to merge together information from the BNC and WordNet. I
    received responses from Pete Whitelock, Dominic Widdows, and Oliver
    Christ, and these responses can be found at
    http://davies-linguistics.byu.edu/responses/corpora.htm#3. Thanks to
    these three people, and my apologies for having taken so long to post
    the summary.

    Thanks,

    Mark Davies
