[Corpora-List] Frequency of auxiliaries in child speech

[Adam Kilgarriff]

Stephanie,

We have recently installed the English CHILDES/Talkbank corpus in the
SketchEngine, where you will be able to find counts quit easily.  It's very
large (23m words) with most data for very young children

Go to http://www.sketchengine.co.uk to sign up for a free trial, you'll find
CHILDES under the 'more corpora' button.  Get back if you need more help
