This corpus was created as part of the research project titled “Corpus-based study of lexical combinations of academic Spanish for the development of a computational tool for academic writing assistance” (HARTA) 1 , under the direction of Margarita Alonso Ramos (University of La Coruña). The corpus consists of representative samples of essays produced by Spanish university students and gathered with the purpose of studying academic lexical combinations (CLA) 2 , i.e., recurrent segments specific to the academic domain, along with collocations, discourse markers and other multiword expres- sions. Inspired by the BAWE corpus (British Academic Written English), our corpus is formed exclusively by final project texts (for the degrees) and dissertations (for the mas- ters) selected from different public repositories of Spanish universities and from various scientific domains. These texts have been annotated with an specific system adapted from that followed by the Spanish Royal Academy (RAE) in CORPES XXI 3 . Keywords: corpus linguistics, learner corpus, academic writing, lexical combinations, writing assistant 1.
