coding disfluencies in Spanish/cross-linguistic coding of disfluency

[Shelley Brundage]

Dear Info-CHILDES

 In my lab we are investigating characteristics of child-directed speech in 
a group of bilingual (Spanish-English) parents. Right now, we are analyzing 
speech rate and disfluencies in the parents during conversations with their 
children.  To this end, we have developed sets of rules for analyzing rate 
and disfluency.  The rate calculations are fairly straightforward across 
languages. We have developed a set of rules for disfluency coding in 
English, and have been working to apply these same rules in Spanish.  This 
process has proved to be slightly less straightforward.  We think we now 
have a set of rules that adequately captures disfluencies in Spanish, but *we 
wondered if anyone on the list has experience in coding disfluency 
behaviors in Spanish, and if you would be willing to share the coding rules 
that you use. * We would like to compare our set of rules to make sure that 
we have not missed anything in Spanish.  While I have native Spanish 
speakers working in my lab, I would like to connect with an established 
researcher in this area if possible.  I would be happy to share our set of 
disfluency coding rules if anyone is interested. Thank you!
