*Abstract:*This talk and its subsequent workshop will introduce
approaches to measuring syntactic properties in the English language,
with a specific focus on large- and fine-grained syntactic measures.
Approaches to measure syntax automatically through part-of-speech (POS)
taggers and dependency parsers will be covered. The follow-up workshop
will focus on how POS taggers and dependency parses can be used to
assess language learner data at the large- and fine-grained levels in a
large corpus focusing on English as a Second Language (EFL) learners.
Data analysis techniques and hands-on data exploration will provide
practical applications using learner corpora.
