Annotation Procedure	The formation of the treebank was carried out in four steps: annotation, review, disagreement resolution and targeted debugging.

Annotation Scheme for ESL	Our annotations use the existing inventory of English UD POS tags and dependency relations, and follow the standard UD annotation guidelines for English. However, these guidelines were formulated with grammatical usage of English in mind and do not cover non canonical syntactic structures arising due to grammatical errors. To encourage consistent and linguistically motivated annotation of such structures, we formulated a complementary set of ESL annotation guidelines. Our ESL annotation guidelines follow the general principle of literal reading, which emphasizes syntactic analysis according to the observed language usage. This strategy continues a line of work in SLA which advocates for centering analysis of learner language around morpho-syntactic surface evidence  ,  . Similarly to our framework, which includes a parallel annotation of corrected sentences, such strategies are often presented in the context of multi-layer annotation schemes that also account for error corrected sentence forms  ,  ,  . Deploying a strategy of literal annotation within UD, a formalism which enforces cross-linguistic consistency of annotations, will enable meaningful comparisons between non-canonical structures in English and canonical structures in the author's native language. As a result, a key novel characteristic of our treebank is its ability to support cross-lingual studies of learner language.

Final Debugging	After applying the resolutions produced by the judges, we queried the corpus with debugging tests for specific linguistics constructions. This additional testing phase further reduced the number of annotation errors and inconsistencies in the treebank. Including the training period, the treebank creation lasted over a year, with an aggregate of more than 2,000 annotation hours.

Disagreement Resolution	In the final stage of the annotation process all annotator-reviewer disagreements were resolved by a third annotator (henceforth judge), whose main task was to decide in favor of the annotator or the reviewer. Similarly to the review process, the judging task was carried out in a double blind manner. Judges were allowed to resolve annotator-reviewer disagreements with a third alternative, as well as introduce new corrections for annotation issues overlooked by the reviewers. Another task performed by the judges was to mark acceptable alternative annotations for ambiguous structures determined through review disagreements or otherwise present in the sentence. These annotations were specified in an additional metadata field called AMBIGUITY. The ambiguity markings are provided along with the resolved version of the annotations.

Review	All annotated sentences were randomly assigned to a second annotator (henceforth reviewer), in a double blind manner. The reviewer's task was to mark all the annotations that they would have annotated differently. To assist the review process, we compiled a list of common annotation errors, available in the released annotation manual. The annotations were reviewed using an active editing scheme in which an explicit action was required for all the existing annotations. The scheme was introduced to prevent reviewers from overlooking annotation issues due to passive approval. Specifically, an additional # sign was added at the seventh column of each token's annotation. The reviewer then had to either “sign off” on the existing annotation by erasing the # sign, or provide an alternative annotation following the # sign.

#SENT=That time I had to sleep in <ns type= "MD"><c>a</c></ns> tent. #SEGMENT= #TYPO= *1.1cm*1.1cm*1.1cm*1.1cm#IND WORD UPOS POS HIND REL 1 That 2 time 3 I 4 had 5 to 6 sleep 7 in 8 tent 9 .  Upon completion of the original sentence, the annotators proceeded to annotate the corrected sentence version. To reduce annotation time, annotators used a script that copies over annotations from the original sentence and updates head indices of tokens that appear in both sentence versions. Head indices and relation labels were filled in only if the head word of the token appeared in both the original and corrected sentence versions. Tokens with automatically filled annotations included an additional # sign in a seventh column of each word's annotation. The # signs had to be removed, and the corresponding annotations either approved or changed as appropriate. Tokens that did not appear in the original sentence version were annotated from scratch.

Annotation	In the first stage, the annotators were given sentences for annotation from scratch. We use a CoNLL based textual template in which each word is annotated in a separate line. Each line contains 6 columns, the first of which has the word index (IND) and the second the word itself (WORD). The remaining four columns had to be filled in with a Universal POS tag (UPOS), a Penn Treebank POS tag (POS), a head word index (HIND) and a dependency relation (REL) according to version 1 of the English UD guidelines. The annotation section of the sentence is preceded by a metadata header. The first field in this header, denoted with SENT, contains the FCE error coded version of the sentence. The annotators were instructed to verify the error annotation, and add new error annotations if needed. Corrections to the sentence segmentation are specified in the SEGMENT field. Further down, the field TYPO is designated for literal annotation of spelling errors and ill formed words that happen to form valid words (see section SECREF13 ). The example below presents a pre-annotated original sentence given to an annotator.

Many of the ESL guidelines were introduced or refined based on the disagreements in the ESL practice exercises and the subsequent group discussions. Several additional guidelines were introduced in the course of the annotation process. During the training period, the annotators also learned to use a search tool that enables formulating queries over word and POS tag sequences as regular expressions and obtaining their annotation statistics in the EWT. After experimenting with both textual and graphical interfaces for performing the annotations, we converged on a simple text based format described in section SECREF6 , where the annotations were filled in using a spreadsheet or a text editor, and tested with a script for detecting annotation typos. The annotators continued to meet and discuss annotation issues on a weekly basis throughout the entire duration of the project.

#SENT=...I had to give <ns type="UT"><i>to</i> </ns> him water... *1.5cm*1.3cm*1.1cm*1.1cm... 21 I PRON PRP 22 nsubj 22 had VERB VBD 5 parataxis 23 to PART TO 24 mark 24 give VERB VB 22 xcomp 25 to ADP IN 26 case 26 himPRON PRP 24 nmod 27 water NOUN NN 24 dobj ...  Omitted prepositions We treat nominal dependents of a predicate that are lacking a preposition as arguments rather than nominal modifiers. In the example below, “money” is marked as a direct object (dobj) instead of a nominal modifier (nmod) of “ask”. As “you” functions in this context as a second argument of “ask”, it is annotated as an indirect object (iobj) instead of a direct object (dobj).

Annotator Training	The treebank was annotated by six students, five undergraduates and one graduate. Among the undergraduates, three are linguistics majors and two are engineering majors with a linguistic minor. The graduate student is a linguist specializing in syntax. An additional graduate student in NLP participated in the final debugging of the dataset. Prior to annotating the treebank sentences, the annotators were trained for about 8 weeks. During the training, the annotators attended tutorials on dependency grammars, and learned the English UD guidelines, the Penn Treebank POS guidelines  , the grammatical error annotation scheme of the FCE  , as well as the ESL guidelines described in section SECREF5 and in the annotation manual. Furthermore, the annotators completed six annotation exercises, in which they were required to annotate POS tags and dependencies for practice sentences from scratch. The exercises were done individually, and were followed by group meetings in which annotation disagreements were discussed and resolved. Each of the first three exercises consisted of 20 sentences from the UD gold standard for English, the English Web Treebank (EWT)  . The remaining three exercises contained 20-30 ESL sentences from the FCE.

The resulting corrected sentences constitute a parallel corpus of standard English. Table TABREF4 presents basic statistics of both versions of the annotated sentences. To avoid potential annotation biases, the annotations of the treebank were created manually from scratch, without utilizing any automatic annotation tools. To further assure annotation quality, each annotated sentence was reviewed by two additional annotators. To the best of our knowledge, TLE is the first large scale English treebank constructed in a completely manual fashion.

Treebank Overview	The TLE currently contains 5,124 sentences (97,681 tokens) with POS tag and dependency annotations in the English Universal Dependencies (UD) formalism  ,  . The sentences were obtained from the FCE corpus  , a collection of upper intermediate English learner essays, containing error annotations with 75 error categories  . Sentence level segmentation was performed using an adaptation of the NLTK sentence tokenizer. Under-segmented sentences were split further manually. Word level tokenization was generated using the Stanford PTB word tokenizer. The treebank represents learners with 10 different native language backgrounds: Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian and Turkish. For every native language, we randomly sampled 500 automatically segmented sentences, under the constraint that selected sentences have to contain at least one grammatical error that is not punctuation or spelling. The TLE annotations are provided in two versions. The first version is the original sentence authored by the learner, containing grammatical errors. The second, corrected sentence version, is a grammatical variant of the original sentence, generated by correcting all the grammatical errors in the sentence according to the manual error annotation provided in the FCE dataset.

To summarize, this paper presents three contributions. First, we introduce the first large scale syntactic treebank for ESL, manually annotated with POS tags and universal dependencies. Second, we describe a linguistically motivated annotation scheme for ungrammatical learner English and provide empirical support for its consistency via inter-annotator agreement analysis. Third, we benchmark a state of the art parser on our dataset and estimate the influence of grammatical errors on the accuracy of automatic POS tagging and dependency parsing. The remainder of this paper is structured as follows. We start by presenting an overview of the treebank in section SECREF2 . In sections SECREF3 and SECREF4 we provide background information on the annotation project, and review the main annotation stages leading to the current form of the dataset. The ESL annotation guidelines are summarized in section SECREF5 . Inter-annotator agreement analysis is presented in section SECREF6 , followed by parsing experiments in section SECREF7 . Finally, we review related work in section SECREF8 and present the conclusion in section SECREF9 .

While the annotation inventory and guidelines are defined by the English UD formalism, we build on previous work in learner language analysis  ,  to formulate an additional set of annotation conventions aiming at a uniform treatment of ungrammatical learner language. Our annotation scheme uses a two-layer analysis, whereby a distinct syntactic annotation is provided for the original and the corrected version of each sentence. This approach is enabled by a pre-existing error annotation of the FCE  which is used to generate an error corrected variant of the dataset. Our inter-annotator agreement results provide evidence for the ability of the annotation scheme to support consistent annotation of ungrammatical structures. Finally, a corpus that is annotated with both grammatical errors and syntactic dependencies paves the way for empirical investigation of the relation between grammaticality and syntax. Understanding this relation is vital for improving tagging and parsing performance on learner language  , syntax based grammatical error correction  ,  , and many other fundamental challenges in NLP. In this work, we take the first step in this direction by benchmarking tagging and parsing accuracy on our dataset under different training regimes, and obtaining several estimates for the impact of grammatical errors on these tasks.

Introduction	The majority of the English text available worldwide is generated by non-native speakers  . Such texts introduce a variety of challenges, most notably grammatical errors, and are of paramount importance for the scientific study of language acquisition as well as for NLP. Despite the ubiquity of non-native English, there is currently no publicly available syntactic treebank for English as a Second Language (ESL). To address this shortcoming, we present the Treebank of Learner English (TLE), a first of its kind resource for non-native English, containing 5,124 sentences manually annotated with POS tags and dependency trees. The TLE sentences are drawn from the FCE dataset  , and authored by English learners from 10 different native language backgrounds. The treebank uses the Universal Dependencies (UD) formalism  ,  , which provides a unified annotation framework across different languages and is geared towards multilingual NLP  . This characteristic allows our treebank to support computational analysis of ESL using not only English based but also multilingual approaches which seek to relate ESL phenomena to native language syntax.

Literal Annotation	With respect to POS tagging, literal annotation implies adhering as much as possible to the observed morphological forms of the words. Syntactically, argument structure is annotated according to the usage of the word rather than its typical distribution in the relevant context. The following list of conventions defines the notion of literal reading for some of the common non canonical structures associated with grammatical errors. Extraneous prepositions We annotate all nominal dependents introduced by extraneous prepositions as nominal modifiers. In the following sentence, “him” is marked as a nominal modifier (nmod) instead of an indirect object (iobj) of “give”.

#SENT=...I have to ask you <ns type="MT"> <c>for</c></ns> the money <ns type= "RT"> <i>of</i><c>for</c></ns> the tickets back. *1.5cm*1.3cm*1.1cm*1.1cm... 12 I PRON PRP 13 nsubj 13 have VERB VBP 2 conj 14 to PART TO 15 mark 15 ask VERB VB 13 xcomp 16 you PRON PRP 15 iobj 17 the DET DT 18 det 18 money NOUN NN 15 dobj 19 of ADP IN 21 case 20 the DET DT 21 det 21 ticketsNOUN NNS 18 nmod 22 back ADV RB 15 advmod 23 . PUNCT . 2 punct  Cases of erroneous tense usage are annotated according to the morphological tense of the verb. For example, below we annotate “shopping” with present participle VBG, while the correction “shop” is annotated in the corrected version of the sentence as VBP.

Conclusion	We present the first large scale treebank of learner language, manually annotated and double-reviewed for POS tags and universal dependencies. The annotation is accompanied by a linguistically motivated framework for handling syntactic structures associated with grammatical errors. Finally, we benchmark automatic tagging and parsing on our corpus, and measure the effect of grammatical errors on tagging and parsing quality. The treebank will support empirical study of learner syntax in NLP, corpus linguistics and second language acquisition.

In the third setup we combine these two training corpora. The remaining 500 TLE sentences (9,549 original tokens, 9,695 corrected tokens) are allocated to a development set, not used in this experiment. Parsing of the test sentences was performed on predicted POS tags. The EWT training regime, which uses out of domain texts written in standard English, provides the lowest performance on all the evaluation metrics. An additional factor which negatively affects performance in this regime are systematic differences in the EWT annotation of possessive pronouns, expletives and names compared to the UD guidelines, which are utilized in the TLE. In particular, the EWT annotates possessive pronoun UPOS as PRON rather than DET, which leads the UPOS results in this setup to be lower than the PTB POS results. Improved results are obtained using the TLE training data, which, despite its smaller size, is closer in genre and syntactic characteristics to the TLE test set.

cahill2014 a treebank of secondary level native students texts was used to approximate learner text in order to evaluate a parser that utilizes unlabeled learner data. Syntactic annotations for ESL were previously developed by Nagata et al. nagata2011, who annotate an English learner corpus with POS tags and shallow syntactic parses. Our work departs from shallow syntax to full syntactic analysis, and provides annotations on a significantly larger scale. Furthermore, differently from this annotation effort, our treebank covers a wide range of learner native languages. An additional syntactic dataset for ESL, currently not available publicly, are 1,000 sentences from the EFCamDat dataset  , annotated with Stanford dependencies  . This dataset was used to measure the impact of grammatical errors on parsing by comparing performance on sentences with grammatical errors to error free sentences. The TLE enables a more direct way of estimating the magnitude of this performance gap by comparing performance on the same sentences in their original and error corrected versions. Our comparison suggests that the effect of grammatical errors on parsing is smaller that the one reported in this study.

This approach, called “morphosyntactic dependencies” is related to our annotation scheme in its focus on surface structures. Differently from this proposal, our annotations are grounded in a parallel annotation of grammatical errors and include an additional layer of analysis for the corrected forms. Moreover, we refrain from introducing new syntactic categories and dependency relations specific to ESL, thereby supporting computational treatment of ESL using existing resources for standard English. At the same time, we utilize a multilingual formalism which, in conjunction with our literal annotation strategy, facilitates linking the annotations to native language syntax. While the above mentioned studies focus on annotation guidelines, attention has also been drawn to the topic of parsing in the learner language domain. However, due to the shortage of syntactic resources for ESL, much of the work in this area resorted to using surrogates for learner data. For example, in Foster foster2007treebanks and Foster et al. foster2008 parsing experiments are carried out on synthetic learner-like data, that was created by automatic insertion of grammatical errors to well formed English text. In Cahill et al.

Related Work	Previous studies on learner language proposed several annotation schemes for both POS tags and syntax  ,  ,  ,  . The unifying theme in these proposals is a multi-layered analysis aiming to decouple the observed language usage from conventional structures in the foreign language. In the context of ESL, Dıaz et al. diaz2010towards propose three parallel POS tag annotations for the lexical, morphological and distributional forms of each word. In our work, we adopt the distinction between morphological word forms, which roughly correspond to our literal word readings, and distributional forms as the error corrected words. However, we account for morphological forms only when these constitute valid existing PTB POS tags and are contextually plausible. Furthermore, while the internal structure of invalid word forms is an interesting object of investigation, we believe that it is more suitable for annotation as word features rather than POS tags. Our treebank supports the addition of such features to the existing annotations. The work of Ragheb and Dickinson dickinson2009dependency,ragheb2012defining,ragheb2013 proposes ESL annotation guidelines for POS tags and syntactic dependencies based on the CHILDES annotation framework.

Overall, our results suggest a negative, albeit limited effect of grammatical errors on parsing. This outcome contrasts a study by Geertzen et al. geertzen2013 which reported a larger performance gap of 7.6 UAS and 8.8 LAS between sentences with and without grammatical errors. We believe that our analysis provides a more accurate estimate of this impact, as it controls for both sentence content and sentence length. The latter factor is crucial, since it correlates positively with the number of grammatical errors in the sentence, and negatively with parsing accuracy.

This comparison indeed reveals a substantial difference between the two types of tokens, with an average gap of 5.0 UPOS, 6.65 POS, 4.67 UAS, 6.56 LA and 7.39 LAS. Note that differently from the global measurements in the first experiment, this analysis, which focuses on the local impact of remove/replace errors, suggests a stronger effect of grammatical errors on the dependency labels than on the dependency structure. Finally, we measure tagging and parsing performance relative to the fraction of sentence tokens marked with grammatical errors. Similarly to the previous experiment, this analysis focuses on remove/replace rather than insert errors. Figure 1 presents the average sentential performance as a function of the percentage of tokens in the original sentence marked with grammatical errors. In this experiment, we train the parser on the EWT training set and test on the entire TLE corpus. Performance curves are presented for POS, UAS and LAS on the original and error corrected versions of the annotations. We observe that while the performance on the corrected sentences is close to constant, original sentence performance is decreasing as the percentage of the erroneous tokens in the sentence grows.

The strongest PTB POS tagging and parsing results are obtained by combining the EWT with the TLE training data, yielding 95.77 POS accuracy and a UAS of 90.3 on the original version of the TLE test set. The dual annotation of sentences in their original and error corrected forms enables estimating the impact of grammatical errors on tagging and parsing by examining the performance gaps between the two sentence versions. Averaged across the three training conditions, the POS tagging accuracy on the original sentences is lower than the accuracy on the sentence corrections by 1.0 UPOS and 0.61 POS. Parsing performance degrades by 1.9 UAS, 1.59 LA and 2.21 LAS. To further elucidate the influence of grammatical errors on parsing quality, table TABREF17 compares performance on tokens in the original sentences appearing inside grammatical error tags to those appearing outside such tags. Although grammatical errors may lead to tagging and parsing errors with respect to any element in the sentence, we expect erroneous tokens to be more challenging to analyze compared to grammatical tokens.

Parsing Experiments	The TLE enables studying parsing for learner language and exploring relationships between grammatical errors and parsing performance. Here, we present parsing benchmarks on our dataset, and provide several estimates for the extent to which grammatical errors degrade the quality of automatic POS tagging and dependency parsing. Our first experiment measures tagging and parsing accuracy on the TLE and approximates the global impact of grammatical errors on automatic annotation via performance comparison between the original and error corrected sentence versions. In this, and subsequent experiments, we utilize version 2.2 of the Turbo tagger and Turbo parser  , state of the art tools for statistical POS tagging and dependency parsing. Table TABREF16 presents tagging and parsing results on a test set of 500 TLE sentences (9,591 original tokens, 9,700 corrected tokens). Results are provided for three different training regimes. The first regime uses the training portion of version 1.3 of the EWT, the UD English treebank, containing 12,543 sentences (204,586 tokens). The second training mode uses 4,124 training sentences (78,541 original tokens, 79,581 corrected tokens) from the TLE corpus.

Erroneous word formations that are contextually plausible and can be assigned with a PTB tag are annotated literally. In the following example, “stuffs” is handled as a plural count noun. #SENT=...into fashionable <ns type="CN"> <i>stuffs</i><c>stuff</c></ns>... *1.8cm*1.3cm*1.1cm*1.1cm... 7 into ADP IN 9 case 8 fashionable ADJ JJ 9 amod 9 stuffs NOUN NNS 2 ccomp ...  Similarly, in the example below we annotate “necessaryiest” as a superlative.

Editing Agreement	We utilize our two step review process to estimate agreement rates between annotators. We measure agreement as the fraction of annotation tokens approved by the editor. Table TABREF15 presents the agreement between annotators and reviewers, as well as the agreement between reviewers and the judges. Agreement measurements are provided for both the original the corrected versions of the dataset. Overall, the results indicate a high agreement rate in the two editing tasks. Importantly, the gap between the agreement on the original and corrected sentences is small. Note that this result is obtained despite the introduction of several ESL annotation guidelines in the course of the annotation process, which inevitably increased the number of edits related to grammatical errors. We interpret this outcome as evidence for the effectiveness of the ESL annotation scheme in supporting consistent annotations of learner language.

#SENT=...they do not <ns type="DV"><i>sale</i> <c>sell</c></ns> them... #TYPO=15 NOUN NN *1.5cm*1.3cm*1.1cm*1.1cm... 12 they PRON PRP 15 nsubj 13 do AUX VBP 15 aux 14 not PART RB 15 neg 15 sale VERB VB 0 root 16 them PRON PRP 15 dobj ...  Taken together, our ESL conventions cover many of the annotation challenges related to grammatical errors present in the TLE. In addition to the presented overview, the complete manual of ESL guidelines used by the annotators is publicly available. The manual contains further details on our annotation scheme, additional annotation guidelines and a list of common annotation errors. We plan to extend and refine these guidelines in future releases of the treebank.

When applicable, such cases also receive an additional marking for unnecessary agreement in the error annotation using the attribute “ua”. #SENT=...<ns type="IJ" ua=true> <i>interestings</i><c>interesting</c></ns> things... *1.5cm*1.3cm*1.1cm*1.1cm... 6 interestings ADJ JJ 7 amod 7 things NOUN NNS 3 dobj ...  Wrong word formations that result in a valid, but contextually implausible word form are also annotated according to the word correction. In the example below, the nominal form “sale” is likely to be an unintended result of an ill formed verb. Similarly to spelling errors that result in valid words, we mark the typical literal POS annotation in the TYPO metadata field.

#SENT=...we <ns type="SX"><i>where</i> <c>were</c></ns> invited to visit... #TYPO=5 ADV WRB *1.5cm*1.3cm*1.1cm*1.1cm... 4 we PRON PRP 6 nsubjpass 5 where AUX VBD 6 auxpass 6 invited VERB VBN 0 root 7 to PART TO 8 mark 8 visit VERB VB 6 xcomp ...  Erroneous word formations that cannot be assigned with an existing PTB tag are annotated with respect to the correct word form. #SENT=I am <ns type="IV"><i>writting</i> <c>writing</c></ns>... *1.5cm*1.3cm*1.1cm*1.1cm1 I PRON PRP 3 nsubj 2 am AUX VBP 3 aux 3 writting VERB VBG 0 root ...  In particular, ill formed adjectives that have a plural suffix receive a standard adjectival POS tag.

Exceptions to Literal Annotation	Although our general annotation strategy for ESL follows literal sentence readings, several types of word formation errors make such readings uninformative or impossible, essentially forcing certain words to be annotated using some degree of interpretation  . We hence annotate the following cases in the original sentence according to an interpretation of an intended word meaning, obtained from the FCE error correction. Spelling errors are annotated according to the correctly spelled version of the word. To support error analysis of automatic annotation tools, misspelled words that happen to form valid words are annotated in the metadata field TYPO for POS tags with respect to the most common usage of the misspelled word form. In the example below, the TYPO field contains the typical POS annotation of “where”, which is clearly unintended in the context of the sentence.

Universal Dependencies for Learner English	We introduce the Treebank of Learner English (TLE), the first publicly available syntactic treebank for English as a Second Language (ESL). The TLE provides manually annotated POS tags and Universal Dependency (UD) trees for 5,124 sentences from the Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE) corpus. The UD annotations are tied to a pre-existing error annotation of the FCE, whereby full syntactic analyses are provided for both the original and error corrected versions of each sentence. Further on, we delineate ESL annotation guidelines that allow for consistent syntactic treatment of ungrammatical English. Finally, we benchmark POS tagging and dependency parsing performance on the TLE dataset and measure the effect of grammatical errors on parsing accuracy. We envision the treebank to support a wide range of linguistic and computational research on second language acquisition as well as automatic processing of ungrammatical language. The treebank is available at universaldependencies.org. The annotation manual used in this project and a graphical query engine are available at esltreebank.org.
