problem finding POS tagging in German CHILDES banks

[Brian Macwhinney]

Dan,

Most of the German data are not tagged.  However, some are, including some that are password protected, but they are tagged using UD Universal Dependencies.  Tagging German has been difficult because older corpora used so much eye-dialect.  Moreover, you have to remember that some determiners are joined in prepositions.  You can look at the Weissenborn corpus to see this,  because it is not password protected. I am happy to look into this, but it will take some time and I have some deadlilnes and a few days vacation.

I basically want to find all the locations where there is a Determiner followed by an Adjective. However, when I use the https://talkbank.org/DB/ data base search, it never returns any results when I use the POS tags. Does this mean that the German files in CHILDES are not tagged for POS? And if so, does anyone have a good workaround for this? Is there some way I can put them in to a POS tagger from the database? If my question isn't quite clear, I'm happy to provide more details. I'm basically trying to avoid having to read through every transcript for every German child and find all the DET + ADJ constructions by hand.
