Dear Info-CHILDES,
  I am happy to announce the addition to CHILDES of a new corpus of
Spanish child language data from Karina Hess Zimmermann at the Colegio
de México in Mexico City.  This corpus is the basis of a Ph.D. thesis
directed by Rebeca Barriga Villanueva that examines narrations from
children aged 6, 9, and 12 in five different narrative tasks.  12 of the
children come from private schools and 12 from public schools.  The data
can be found in the Spanish directory in the database and the
documentation is now in the PDF file for Romance languages.  Thanks to
Karina and Rebeca for this excellent corpus.

--Brian MacWhinney
