PhonBank corpora

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Info-CHILDES,

    For people interested in child phonology, it may be useful to note  
that there is now a separate directory within the CHILDES database for  
corpora that have been full transcribed phonologically.  This folder  
is called PhonBank.  These files were contributed by Sophie Kern and  
Babs Davis and were originally in LIPP format which we then converted  
to CHAT.  Our plan is to continue to work on these files so that they  
can take advantage of the growing compatibility between the CLAN and  
PHON programs.  So, the versions that you find in this part of the  
database will be undergoing ongoing reformatting.  Four other corpora  
also have extensive phonological coding.  These are Carterette,  
Cruttenden, Providence, and Lyon.  However, because these corpora  
include full interactions and dialog, we are leaving them in the  
respective main language areas (Eng-UK, Eng-USA, and French).
    If any of you have LIPP data that you would like to have converted  
to CHAT, now would be a great time.
