Dear Info-CHILDES,
  There are new data now in the database for Polish and Japanese.  The new
Polish data are from Richard Weist at SUNY Fredonia.  Dick has now added data
from a third Polish child Wawrzon.  In addition, we have converted the Polish
files so that they now read like standard Polish with standard diacritic
characters.  In Windows, this involves the use of the Courier New font.  In
Macintosh, it involves use of the Geneva CE font.  Older versions of the data
in plain ASCII are still on the server and the CHILDES 2000 CD-ROM.  Thanks
to Dick for these new data.
  The second data set update is from Takeo Ishii of Kyoto Sangyo University.
His data are from Jun and there were previously 61 data files.  Now there are
22 new data files for a total of 83.  Takeo can also provide digitized video
linked to the data files on request.  Thanks to Takeo for this update of his
corpus.
