Automatically classifying errors by language learners facilitates corpus analysis and tool development. We present a tag set and a rule-based classifier for automatically assigning error tags to edits in learner texts. In our manual evaluation, the classifier assigns the best or close to best fitting tag in 92% of the cases.
