# Dataset Card for MERLIN

The MERLIN corpus is a written learner corpus for Czech, German, and Italian that has been
designed to illustrate the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) with
authentic learner data. The corpus contains learner texts produced in standardized language
certifications covering CEFR levels A1-C1. The MERLIN annotation scheme includes a wide
range of language characteristics that provide researchers with concrete examples of learner
performance and progress across multiple proficiency levels.
