                      POS-tagging spoken and learner English
                      ======================================
     
          We have a corpus of spoken English (BASE
    http://www.rdg.ac.uk/AcaDepts/ll/base_corpus/ a British equivalent of the
    American MICASE http://www.hti.umich.edu/m/micase/ ) and are now assessing
    how to (automatically) POS-tag it. We are also interested in automatic
    POS-tagging of learner English (which may involve some of the same
    'robustness' issues, even if the linguistics is different)

          Do you have recent experiences of using available taggers on either of
    these kinds of data?

            Reports including accuracy figures would be particularly useful.

            Thank you in advance,

                    Adam Kilgarriff
