adult frog stories in English

[Margaret Fleck]

If the original is in Word (like the file Dan Slobin just circulated), then itmight be helpful to also post a plaintext version (if possible).    That makesthe file(s) a lot easier to browse and is a necessary first step for reading itwith a computer program.    Although I just produced myself *a* plaintextversion fairly quickly, it has issues (e.g. unwanted line breaks) that I suspecta practiced Word hacker could avoid.

Dan,    Several years back, I tried to put the Berkeley english into CHAT format.  All of the corpora in CHILDES are in CHAT, so having a corpus that is not in that format makes it impossible to run CLAN programs on them.  However, I think that it would make sense to have these data available in their original form and then people can go through them by hand or by using other programs.  So, I will try to find a good place to post them on the web set.  Many thanks.

Dear Barbara,


I received a similar email and sent the student our corpus of adult
English frog stories.  But I don't understand why the original
Berkeley frog story database is no longer on CHILDES.

I've attached the entire corpus, as it used to appear on CHILDES, in the
hope that it can be re-posted for public access.


Best,

Dan

Dear
Infochilds,

 

I am corresponding with a student (and her teacher)
in central China.  She was very happy to learn of the link to
children's frog stories in English, but wonders if someone has any of
them--to share--from adults (or at least teenagers)?

 

I don't see any listed in the database manual on the
CHILDES site.  Does anyone know of any that we could share with
her?

 

Thank you.

 

Barbara
