Dear Info-CHILDES,
  I am happy to announce the addition to CHILDES of two new corpora on the
acquisition of Spanish.  The first is from César Aguilar and Rebeca Barriga
Villlanueva of the Colegio de México in Mexico City.  It includes 10 frog
story narrations from 6-year-olds and 10 from 12-year-olds.
  The second corpus is from Donna Jackson-Maldonado of the Universidad
Autónoma de Querétaro and Donna Thal of San Diego State University. This
large corpus was collected at two urban sites and one village in central
Mexico, as well as San Diego, California.  All subjects were monolinguals.
Children were sampled at 10, 12, 20, 28, and 36 months with 32, 28, 48, 57,
and 30 subjects at these ages. The project was supported by the MacArthur
Foundation and CONACYT. Additional details are available in the manuals on
the web.
  Many thanks to  Donna, Donna, César and Rebeca for contributing these
corpora.

--Brian MacWhinney
