Refining Word-Based Grammatical Error Annotation for L2 Korean 文章

arXiv:2605.30545v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Korean grammatical error correction (K-GEC) presents a structural mismatch between word-based evaluation and the morpheme-level locus of many learner errors. Postpositions and verbal endings are bound to lexical hosts, but they encode grammatical relations that must be represented in correction and evaluation. This paper refines word-based grammatical error annotation for L2 Korean by addressing three connected problems in existing resources: surface target realization, Korean-specific edit annotation, and single-reference evaluation. We reconstruct target sentences from the National Institute of Korean Language (NIKL) L2 corpus under morphologically constrained realization rules and convert its morpheme-level annotations into word-level \texttt{m2} edits.
