Detailing more than one hundred years of research including the most current developments, CHILDES/BIB serves as a quick reference to literature on child language and language disorders. The coverage includes not only the field of language acquisition, but also bilingualism, second language acquisition, language and cognition, and atypical populations. Available in both electronic and printed versions, the database contains more than 7,500 references to various journal articles and books. In addition, regular updates of the CHILDES/BIB Database will be made available.

Childes/Bib: An Annotated Bibliography of Child Language and Language Disorders, 1994 Supplement

Covering North American research since late 1990 and international research published since 1970, the CHILDES/BIB 1994 Supplement adds another 3,000 references to the original work and brings the total number of references up to approximately 10,400. This supplement includes keywords and indicates the language in which the text is written.

Language research thrives on data collected from spontaneous interactions in naturally occurring situations. However, the process of collecting, transcribing, and analyzing naturalistic data can be extremely time-consuming and often unreliable. This book describes three basic tools for language analysis of transcript data by computer that have been developed in the context of the Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES) project. These are: the CHAT transcription and coding format, the CLAN package of analysis programs, and the CHILDES database. These tools have brought about significant changes in the way research is conducted in the child language field. They are being used with great success by researchers working with second language learning, adult conversational interactions, sociological content analyses, and language recovery in aphasia, as well as by students of child language development. The tools are widely applicable, although this book concentrates on their use in the child language field, believing that researchers from other areas can make the necessary analogies to their own topics. This thoroughly revised 2nd edition includes documentation on a dozen new computer programs that have been added to the basic system for transcript analysis. The most important of these new programs is the CHILDES Text Editor (CED) which can be used for a wide variety of purposes, including editing non-Roman orthographies, systematically adding codes to transcripts, checking the files for correct use of CHAT, and linking the files to digitized audio and videotape. In addition to information on the new computer programs, the manual documents changed the shape of the CHILDES/BIB system--given a major update in 1994--which now uses a new computer database system. The documentation for the CHILDES transcript database has been updated to include new information on old corpora and information on more than a dozen new corpora from many different languages. Finally, the system of CHAT notations for file transcript have been clarified to emphasize the ways in which the codes are used by particular CLAN programs. The new edition concludes with a discussion of new directions in transcript analysis and links between the CHILDES database and other developments in multimedia computing and global networking. It also includes complete references organized by research topic area for the more than 300 published articles that have made use of the CHILDES database and/or the CLAN programs. LEA also distributes the CLAN programs and the complete CHILDES Database--including corpora from several languages and discourse situations--described in The CHILDES Project. Be sure to choose the correct platform (IBM or Macintosh) for the CLAN programs; the CHILDES Database CD-ROM runs on both platforms.

Featuring approximately 2,700 references, this supplement extends the previous volumes, CHILDES/BIB - 1991 (LEA) and the CHILDES/BIB - 1994 Supplement (LEA), to a total of more than 13,000 references. All of the entries have keyword annotations, and many of them include lengthier abstracts. This new volume includes a categorical listing of the complete set of keywords used in the CHILDES/BIB system. The keywords appear at the end of each citation--prior to the abstract if one is available--along with a notation indicating the language in which the text is written if it is not English.

Education & Reference

The Childes Project

Volume I is the first of two volumes that document the three components of the CHILDES Project. It is divided into two parts which provide an introduction to the use of computational tools for studying language learning. The first part is the CHAT manual, which describes the conventions and principles of CHAT transcription and recommends specific methods for data collection and digitization. The second part is the CLAN manual, which describes the uses of the editor, sonic CHAT, and the various analytic commands. The book will be useful for both novice and experienced users of the CHILDES tools, as well as instructors and students working with transcripts of child language. Volume II describes in detail all of the corpora included in the CHILDES database. The conversational interactions in the corpora come from monolingual children and their caregivers and siblings, as well as bilingual children, older school-aged children, adult second-language learners, children with various types of language disabilities, and aphasic recovering from language loss. The database includes transcripts in 26 different languages. The CD-ROM that accompanies these volumes includes the transcript files described in Volume II. It runs on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. For more information or updates to the files, visit the CHILDES Web site at http://childes.psy.cmu.edu
