Abstract: Learner corpora are used to investigate computerised learner language so as to gain insights into foreign language learning. One of the methodologies that can be applied to this type of research is computer-aided error analysis (CEA), which, in general terms, consists in the study of learner errors as contained in a learner corpus. Surveys of current learner corpora and of issues of learner corpus research have been published in the last few years (Granger 1998, 2002, 2004a; Meunier 1998; Pravec 2002; Tono 2003; Nesselhauf 2004; Myles 2005), where information on CEA research can be found, although usually limited. This article is centred on CEA research and is intended as a review of error tagging systems, including error categorizations, dimensions and levels of description.
