+<p>The MERLIN corpus <strong>contains 2,286 texts for learners of Italian, German and Czech </strong>that were taken from written examinations of acknowledged test institutions. The exams aim to test knowledge across the levels A1-C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).</p>
+<h2>Origin of the texts</h2>
+<p>The corpus comprises written prodcutions from standardized high-quality language tests from <a href="https://www.telc.net/" target="_blank" class="reference">telc Frankfurt</a> (for German and Italian) and the <a href="http://ujop.cuni.cz/en/exams/" target="_blank" class="reference">Test centre</a> of the Institute of Language and Preparatory Studies (ÚJOP) of the Charles University in Prague (for Czech).</p>
+<p dir="ltr">The tasks are systematically related to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). They were in use until 2013 and are now freely available on this platform.</p>
+<h2>The relation to the Framework of Reference - the MERLIN rating grid</h2>
+<p>To ensure an immediate relation to the CEFR, specially trained testers re-rated all exam texts using the MERLIN <a href="https://merlin-platform.eu/docs/MERLIN_Rating-Grid_DE.pdf" target="_blank">MERLIN rating grid</a> that was developed within the project. </p>
+<p>The reliability of the ratings was subjected to rigorous statistical verification procedures to correct rating tendencies (e.g. leniency/harshness). As a result, a reliable rating profile has been created for each text in the corpus. The profile reflects both a general holistic overall level and the individual rating criteria detailed below:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>general linguistic range</li>
+ <li>vocabulary range</li>
+ <li>vocabulary control</li>
+ <li>grammatical accuracy</li>
+ <li>coherence and cohesion</li>
+ <li>sociolinguistic appropriateness</li>
+ <li>command of orthography</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The page <a href="C_research.php#anchor11" target="_blank">MERLIN for research</a> goes into more detail about the procedure of the re-ratings.</p>
+<h2><a name="tasks" id="tasks"></a>Test tasks</h2>
+<p>In the following, a comprehensive overview and detailed description of all test tasks which form the basis of the written test productions – the MERLIN texts – is provided. The linked PDF documents contain detailed information about the tasks, a brief description of the test parameters, and the specific characteristics of the intended text, e.g. regarding topic, register, domain.</p>
+<p><span class="StilSmall"><strong>Hint</strong>: In square brackets are the short names of the tasks as you find them in the file name of the MERLIN texts.</span></p>
