[Corpora-List] Corpus of Genuine Children's Narratives

[Eric Atwell]

Terry,

The Polytechnic of Wales (PoW) Corpus includes transcripts of English
spoken by children aged 6 upwards; see

Souter C. 1989. PoW Corpus Manual. University of Leeds
  - from ICAME: http://khnt.hit.uib.no/icame/manuals/pow.htm

"... The corpus was originally collected between 1978-84 for a child
language development project to study the use of various 
syntactico-semantic constructs in children between the ages of six 
and twelve. A sample of approximately 120 children in this age range 
from the Pontypridd area in South Wales was selected, and divided 
into four cohorts of 30, each within three months of the
ages 6, 8, 10, and 12 ..."
