All of the corpora in CHILDES are in CHAT, so having a corpus that is not in that format makes it impossible to run CLAN programs on them. However, I think that it would make sense to have these data available in their original form and then people can go through them by hand or by using other programs. So, I will try to find a good place to post them on the web set. Many thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>--Brian</div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 18, 2010, at 4:17 PM, Dan I.

<font size="3">Dear Barbara,<br><br>
I received a similar email and sent the student our corpus of adult
English frog stories. But I don't understand why the original
Berkeley frog story database is no longer on CHILDES.<br>
I've attached the entire corpus, as it used to appear on CHILDES, in the
hope that it can be re-posted for public access.<br><br>
