1 Introduction
Abstract
Keystroke logging is a popular method in writing Keystroke logging tools are widely used in writing research (Sullivan & Lindgren, 2006) to study the process research. These applications are designed underlying cognitive processes (Berninger, 2012). to capture each character and mouse movement as Various keystroke logging programs have been isolated events as an indicator of cognitive processes. The current research project explores developed, each with a different focus1. The programs the possibilities of aggregating the logged process differ in the events that are logged (keyboard and/or data from the letter level (keystroke) to the word mouse, speech recognition), in the environment that is level by merging them with existing lexica and logged (a program-specific text editor, MS Word or using NLP tools. Linking writing process data to all Windows-based applications), in their combination lexica and using NLP tools enables researchers to with other logging tools (e.g. eye tracking and analyze the data on a higher, more complex level. usability tools like Morae) and the analytic detail of In this project the output data of Inputlog are the output files.

By doing so we would like to stimulate interdisciplinary research, and relate findings in the Inputlog is a word-processor independent keystroke domain of writing research to other domains (e.g., logging program that not only registers keystrokes, Pragmatics, CALL, Translation studies, Psycho- mouse movements, clicks and pauses in MS Word, but also in any other Windows-based software We argue that the enriched process data combined with temporal information (time stamps, action times Keystroke logging programs store the complete and pauses) will further facilitate the analysis of the sequence of keyboard and/or mouse events in logged data and address innovative research chronological order. Figure 1 represents "Volgend questions. For instance, Is there a developmental shift jaar (Next Year)" at the character and mouse action in the pausing behaviors of writers related to word classes, e.g., before adjectives as opposed to before The keyboard strokes, mouse movements and mouse nouns (cf. cognitive development in language clicks are represented in a readable output for each production)?

Which linguistic shifts synthesized representation of a continuous mouse characterize substitutions as a sub type of revisions movement). Additionally, timestamps indicate when (e.g., linguistic categories, frequency)? keys are pressed and released, and when mouse movements are made. For each keystroke in MSWord A more elaborate example of a research question in the position of the character in the document is which the linguistic information has added value is: Is represented as well as the total length of the document the text prodcution of causal markers more cognitive at that specific moment. This enables researchers to demanding than the production of temporal markers? take the non-linearity of the writing process into In reading research, evidence is found that it takes account, which is the result of the execution of readers longer to process sentences or paragraphs that contain causal markers than temporal markers. Does the same hold for the production of these linguistic markers? Based on the linguistic information added to the writing process data researchers are now able to easily select causal and temporal markers and compare the process data from various perspectives. (cf. step 4 - linguistic analyses). The work described in this paper is based on the output of Inputlog3, but it can also be applied to the output of other keystroke logging programs. To promote more linguistically-oriented writing process research, Inputlog aggregates the logged process data from the character level (keystroke) to the word level. In a subsequent step, we use various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools to further annotate Figure 1. Example of general analysis Inputlog. the logged process data with different kinds of linguistic information: part-of-speech tags, lemmata, To represent the non-linearity of the writing process chunk boundaries, syllable boundaries, and word the S-notation is used. The S-notation (Kollberg & Severinson Eklundh, 2002) contains information about the revision types (insertion or deletion), the order of the revisions and the place in the text where 2 FWO-Merging writing process data with lexica - the writing process was interrupted. The S-notation can be automatically generated from the keystroke logging data and has become a standard in the representation of the non-linearity in writing to be the most stable characteristic of a keyboard user. processes. Another example is the work by Nottbush and his colleagues. Focusing on linguistic aspects of interkey Figure 2 shows an example of the S-notation. The text intervals, their research (Nottbusch, 2010; Sahel, is taken from an experiment with master students Nottbusch, Grimm, & Weingarten, 2008) shows that Multilingual Professional Communication who were the syllable boundaries within words have an effect on asked to write a (Dutch) tweet about a conference the temporal keystroke succession.

As will be demonstrated in the next lgen·op|5]4{op·de·hoogte·via|6}5·www.vwec2012.be.|3· section, typing errors complicate the analysis of logging data at the word and sentence level because the linear reconstruction is disrupted. For this purpose a large experimental corpus based on a controled The following conventions are used in the S-notation: copying task was analyzed, focusing on five digraphs with different characteristics (frequency, keyboard distribution, left-right coordination).

However, typing errors The example in Figure 2 can be read as follows: show a limited variation: pressing the adjacent key The writer formulates in one segment "Volgend jaar explains more than 40 % of the errors, both for touch organiseert VWEC een congres over '" (Next year typists and others; the chance that a typing error is VWEC organises a conference on ').

These two At the intermediate level, Inputlog data can also be characteristics are the main obstacles that we need to used to analyze data at the digraph level, for instance, cope with to analyse writing process data on a higher to study interkey intervals (or digraph latency) in level.

Therefore, to use the standard NLP tools to enrich the process data Grabowski’s research on the internal structure of with linguistic information, in a first step, words, students’ keyboard skills in different writing tasks is a word groups and sentences are extracted from the case in point (Grabowski, 2008). He studied whether there are patterns of overall keyboard behavior and whether such patterns are stable across different The S-notation was used as a basis to further segment (copying) tasks. Across tasks, typing speed turned out the data into sentences and tokenize them. A dedicated sentence segmenting and tokenizer module into three types of revisions and the within-word was developed to conduct this process. This dedicated typing errors are excluded from further analyses. module can cope with the specific S-notation Although the set-up of the Inputlog extension is annotations such as insertion, deletion and break largely language-independent, the NLP tools used are markers. language-dependent. As proof-of-concept, we provide evidence from English and Dutch (See Figure 3). Step 2 – parsing the S-notation
As mentioned before, standard NLP tools are designed to work with clean, grammatically correct text. We thus decided to treat word-level revisions differently than higher level revisions and to distinguish deleted fragments from the final writing product. We developed a parser that extracts three types of data from the S-notation: word-level revisions, deleted fragments and the final writing product. The word-level revisions can be extracted from the S-notation by retaining all words with word-internal square or curly brackets (see excerpt 1).

Step 3 - enriching process data with linguistic
Conceptually, the deleted fragments can be extracted information
from the S-notation by retaining only the words and As standard NLP tools are trained on clean data, these phrases that are surrounded by word-external square tools are not suited for processing input containing brackets (2); and the final product data can be spelling errors. Therefore, we only enrich the final obtained by deleting everything in between square product data and the deleted fragments with different brackets from the S-notation. In practice, the situation kinds of linguistic annotations. As part-of-speech is more complicated as insertions and deletions can be taggers typically use the surrounding local context to determine the proper part-of-speech tag for a given word (typically a window of two to three words An example of the three different data types extracted and/or tags is used), the deletions in context are from the S-notation is presented in the excerpt below. extracted from the S-notation to be processed by the To facilitate the readability of the resulting data, the part-of-speech tagger.

We used the Wikipedia Extractor developed by Medialab4 to extract the text from the wiki files. The Wikipedia text files were further tokenized and enriched with part-of-speech B (begin) tags and lemmata. The Wikipedia frequency lists can thus group different word forms belonging to one lemma.

In this paper we presented how writing process data can be enriched with linguistic information. The annotated output facilitates the linguistic analysis of the logged data and provides a valuable basis for more linguistically-oriented writing process research.We hope that this perspective will further enrich writing process research. Additional annotations and analyses In a first phase we only focused on English and Dutch, but the method can be easily applied to other languages as well provided that the linguistic tools are available for a Windows platform. For the moment, the linguistic annotations are limited to part-of-speech tags, lemmata, chunk information, syllabification and word frequency information, but can be extended, e.g. by n-gram frequencies to capture collocations. By aggregating the logged process data from the character level (keystroke) to the word level, general Figure 5. Deleted fragments enriched with linguistic statistics (e.g. total number of deleted or inserted words, pause length before nouns preceded by an adjective or not) can be generated easily from the Step 4 - combining process data with linguistic output of Inputlog as well.
