[Corpora-List] corpus of English child language

[Eric Atwell]

Angela, Eva,
The ICAME CD-ROM  http://helmer.aksis.uib.no/icame/cd/
includes the Polytechnic of Wales Corpus:
Orthographic transcriptions of some 61,000 words of child English language.
The corpus is parsed according to Hallidayan systemic-functional
grammar. There is no prosodic information. See further
Clive Souter (1989) A Short Handbook to the Polytechnic of Wales Corpus
online: http://khnt.hit.uib.no/icame/manuals/pow.htm
and ICAME Journal paper on using POW corpus in grammar-learning:

Polytechnic of Wales Corpus, ICAME Journal 13, p20-27
and the presentation of the edited version of the corpus in

Corpus, ICAME Journal 15 p55-62.

I have already used the COLT material and  parts of the CHILDES project. Is there any other source of spoken child/adolescent language available on CD- ROM? Thank you very much in advance for your help.
