Dear Info-CHILDES,

    Thanks for all the congratulations on the one million mark.   But,  it
is not really Leonid and I who should be congratulated, but rather the
entire field of child language research for (1) its continued and growing
commitment to data-sharing, (2) its willingness and interest in exploring
new methods in transcription, media linkage, and corpus analysis, and (3)
its growing commitment to basing replicable theoretical analyses on openly
shared data.  And I believe that we, as a field, should also recognize our
indebtedness to the computer scientists who have built the programs and
internet interfaces upon which we increasingly rely, as well as to ongoing
input  from areas as diverse as speech science, computational linguistics,
network modeling, linguistic theory, statistics, and conversation analysis.
   My hope is that people in child language can communicate to their
colleagues in closely-allied areas such as second language learning,
aphasiology, sociolinguistics, and classroom discourse, the excitement and
scientific progress that can arise through this type of increased commitment
to data-sharing.
