I want to compare adult-to-adult speech with adult-to-child speech.  CHILDES (thank you, Brian) gives us thousands of hours of adult-to-child.  I don't need *thousands* of hours of adult-to-adult but I would like several hours of normal conversation.  Hence, I do not want very short routine phone conversations.  Nor do I want academic conversations, including student-to-student conversations about difficult topics like DNA.  CoCA is not usable because one can only search it, not download whole conversations.  Suggestions will be gratefully received either via this list or to me at virginia.valian at hunter.cuny.edu
