Indonesian corpus

[Margaret Fleck]

Can you give a ballpark estimate for the number of words in the
transcriptions?   (This information is useful for those of us doing
computational algorithms.)

I'd just like to add that in addition to a transcription in
conventional (romanized) orthography, each utterance is also
phonetically transcribed, glossed, and translated into English.  So
you don't need any prior familiarity with Indonesian in order to use
the database.  Each of the 8 children was recorded at average 10-day
intervals for 2 to 4 years, so the database is ideal for longitudinal
studies.  I hope you have as much fun working with it as we've had
compiling it.  Thanks so much, Brian, for your help and encouragement
which made it possible for us to post the database on CHILDES.

If you have any question or comment about the Indonesian child
language database, please feel free to contact me at
