Abstract

The present paper deals with the linguistic investigation of the data contained in a corpus received data with regard to error analysis. Firstly the relation between learner corpora and language acquisition research is represented; afterwards the learner corpus Falko is introduced; in the last point the learning texts of Falko Essay L2v2.4 are examined with regard to error analysis. The aim of this paper is to show how goal-oriented is the use of prepositions with the right articles for advanced learners of the German as a foreign language. In this context the error annotation in the learner corpus Falko is used as an examination method. Finally, it can be seen that errors in article use have higher error rates than errors when using prepositions. In addition, the annotation of example texts shows that tokens are often assigned the ZH1Diff-Tag CHA (in context: false preposition or incorrect articles). With frequency analysis all types of errors and their frequency distribution were classified. Because the target hypotheses play an important role in this classification, we can say that target hypotheses or similar concepts are always required if linguistic structures cannot be described with given grammar. From the perspective of the grammatical level, we can conclude that the prepositions and articles are still an acquisition problem in the advanced field.
