The CECL error tagging manual for L2 French was designed within the framework of the FreeText project to error-tag a 300,000 word sample of the FRIDA (French Interlanguage Database) corpus of French as a Foreign Language collected within the framework of the project. The project’s full title is French in Context: An advanced hypermedia CALL system featuring NLP tools for a smart treatment of authentic documents and free production exercises. The project received financial support from the European Commission in the IST programme of the Fifth Framework Programme, contract IST-1999-13093. The project partners were the University of Geneva (Department of Linguistics), the University of Louvain (Centre for English Corpus Linguistics), the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (Department of Language Engineering) and the French company Softissimo. More information on the FreeText project can be found on the project’s web site: http://www.latl.unige.ch/freetext/index.html
