    CHILDES

     

    CHILDES (Child Language Data Exchange System) offers various resources which aid and support studying language acquisition, language development, and language learning:

    • a system of conventions which enable the creation of written versions of audio- and video-recordings of spoken language
    • computer programs which aid the work of transcription and analysis
    • a location in the public domain for storing electronic versions of language databases
    • resources for downloading electronic databases, including this one
    • an e-mail list which supplies a forum for researchers

    Details about this system can be found at Carnegie Mellon University, or the mirror site at Antwerp.
