    Hello all:

    I wonder if anyone out there can point me in the direction of lists or
    corpora of learner errors in written L2 English, either in electronic
    format or hard copy. I am aware of the existence of the ICLE corpus, but
    am assuming that more sources of such information might exist. It would
    be ideal to find a list/corpus extensive enough to have credible
    frequencies associated with the observed errors (or error categories),
    but even typical examples would be a start. I'm most interested in
    problems with lexical selectional (including things like article choice
    & bound preposition errors) and collocation infelicities, as opposed to
    cohesion and other text-level problems.

    I will happily provide a summary of responses if people reply directly
    to me.

    Many thanks in advance.
