The development of sentence and clause lengths in Czech L2 texts
Original language description
This study aims to analyse the development of sentence and clause lengths in Czech L2 texts at A1–C1 proficiency levels. The research is based on the material of the Czech National Corpus, namely the CzeSL-SGT learner corpus. The final sample contains nearly 6,000 Czech texts written by non-native speakers. Moreover, these results are compared with the reference corpus consisting of texts written by Czech native speakers. The material is syntactically annotated by the Universal Dependencies framework. The research also examines the cross-linguistic influence of learners’ first language by comparing the results of native Slavic and non-Slavic speakers. The results generally show that the higher the level of language proficiency, the higher the average length of the clauses and sentences. Texts written by Slavic students reach, on average, longer sentences and clauses than their non-Slavic counterparts at most proficiency levels, with the gap most visible at beginner levels (A1, A2).
