Laboratorio de Lingüística Informática
The spontaneous child language corpus, CHIEDE, is made up of a third of child language and two thirds of adult speech. The main feature of CHIEDE is the spontaneity of the interactions: the texts are recordings of communicative situations in its natural context.
Our corpus presents a final design formed by two kinds of interactions: spontaneous collective conversations, recorded at a daily activity in classroom, and personal interviews, made by an adult to a single child, where the conversation looses spontaneity, as it is guided with questions.
CHIEDE consist of 58.163 words, in 30 texts, with 7 hours and 53 minutes of recording and 59 child participants. Each recording is aligned with its corresponding orthographic transcription, where it is included a header with metadata or sociolinguistic and contextual information. Apart from the audio and the text files, two other kinds of files are included: those in which a automatic phonological transcription has been carried out and those where the text appears in XML format with the morphosyntactic annotation. The files are identified with a name where the age of the child participant is specified.
