Fw: Diminutives

[Zuzana Ondráčková]

 Dear Info-CHILDES,

 I am a Ph.D. student and I have been working on my dissertation thesis. It
focuses on comparative analysis of lexis used in child-directed speech and
child speech (2-5 years old children) in the Slovak and English languages.
 I am especially interested in diminutives and other words that are typical
 of baby talk.
 Could you advise me if there is any possibility how to gather
 these data?
  To collect as many English "child words" as possible is essential for my
 research. Thanks in advance for any information or advice that could help 
me.
