The aim of this book is to present a comprehensive picture of the current state of Spanish learner corpus research (SLCR), which makes it unique, since no other monograph has focused on collecting research dealing with learner corpora of any language other than English. In addition to an introductory appraisal of current SLCR, as well as a wake-up call reminding us that learner corpus design still needs to be improved, this volume features a selection of original studies ranging from general issues concerning learner corpora compilation to more specific aspects such as phonetic, lexical, grammatical and pragmatic features of the interlanguage of learners of Spanish, as reflected in corpus data. This volume will undoubtedly be of significant interest to researchers involved in corpus linguistics, second language acquisition research, as well as to professionals in the field of Spanish as a second language, including teachers, and creators and publishers of teaching materials.

For experienced researchers it offers a thorough state-of-the-art overview of Spanish LCR, while also identifying various issues that are in need of further investigation. For those less familiar with LCR, the volume provides important background information on the creation, annotation, and analysis of learner corpora. In sum, Spanish Learner Corpus Research: Current Trends and Future Perspectives is a welcomed contribution to this area of scholarship.”
