Proposal to develop a GEMS folder on CHILDES

[Wijnen, Frank]

Hi Peter, and everybody else--

This is an excellent idea, and I'd be happy to share the (limited) notes I
have on my children.

I am not sure whether the CHAT coding format would be the most appropriate
and convenient. It would be nice to be able to access such a collection of
observations through a variety of search terms, a.o. language, speaker's
age, linguistic domain, context, ... The relational database approach that's
often used in (adult) speech error research might be useful here too. No
doubt, Brian will have something relevant to say on this matter.

best wishes,

--Frank Wijnen.
