Dear Info-CHILDES,

    Anna Gudmundson of the University of Stockholm has contributed a  
much improved version of MOR for Italian which she has used to tag  
her corpus of learners of Italian with a total of 3684 utterances.   
In addition, she created an ital.db POST database for automatic  
disambiguation which seems to work quite efficiently.
    Anna added some additional grammatical features, created  
additional a-rules and c-rules and expanded the overall coverage of  
the lexicon.
     This is a really nice contribution to the CHILDES system that  
now forms a really solid basis for further work on the learning of  
Italian.  Many thanks to Anna for this great contribution which can  
now be downloaded from the server.
