code switching

Dear Nan,
This is marked in CHAT using a system described in section 16.1 of the CHAT manual.  Finding these is simple, because they are marked with precodes such as [- fra].

Subject: code switching

Hi, for a project involving bilingual children, we want to indicate if an entire utterance shifts to the secondary language within a conversation (e.g., in having a conversation in English, shifting an entire utterance to French). We'd like to be able to investigate fluency issues surrounding such events. Has anyone developed a code for this that allows efficient search?

Nan

Dear ChiBolts,
  In order to provide a bit more clarity regarding the longitudinal range of CHILDES files, we are working now to rename files in the longitudinal corpora in the CHILDES database to reflect the child’s age.  The format we are using has six numbers in the YYMMDD form.  So, a filename of 030812.cha means that the child is 3;8.12.  We are only using these six numbers and not the child’s name, because the child’s name is usually found in the folder name.  Of course, all of this information is also available in the @ID lines in the transcripts themselves.  Sometimes a few extra letters are needed such as 030812a.cha and 030812b.cha when there are two recordings for a given day.  The renaming process also involves renaming the media to reflect ages and changing the @Media line in the files so that transcript file names match media file names.
  Once this is done, I think the age-range coverage of longitudinal corpora will be clearer.

  Best,

  --Brian MacWhinney
