This paper presents a pilot study focused on Italian native speakers' perception of writing quality. A group of native speakers expressed their preferences on 100 pairs of essays extracted from an Italian corpus of compositions written by L1 students of lower secondary school. Analysing their answers, it was possible to identify a set of linguistic features characterizing essays perceived as well written and to assess the impact of students errors on the perception of text quality. The paper describes the crowdsourcing technique to collect data as well as the linguistic analysis and results.

Abstract
This paper presents a pilot study focused on Italian native speakers' perception of writing quality. A group of native speakers expressed their preferences on 100 pairs of essays extracted from an Italian corpus of compositions written by L1 students of lower secondary school. Analysing their answers, it was possible to identify a set of linguistic features characterizing essays perceived as well written and to assess the impact of students errors on the perception of text quality. The paper describes the crowdsourcing technique to collect data as well as the linguistic analysis and results.File in questo prodotto:
