random sampling - longitudinal corpus

[Coralie Herve]

Dear Childes Community,

For my PhD on cross-linguistic influence in French-English bilingual children, I am using my own longitudinal corpus. In addition to analysing the children's productions, I would like to examine a sample of the mothers' productions.
My supervisors and I were thinking of using the R software in order to select a random sample of maternal utterances. 
 I have two options either randomly sample with replacement or randomly sample without replacements.

What do you think are the pros and cons of using the replacement or not in random sampling
maternal utterances? 


Best wishes,

Coralie
