adult-to-adult conversations in digital format?

[Aliyah MORGENSTERN]

This type of data is greatly needed in our community. I have never found a
data base that I could use for the purpose of comparison with projects done
using CHILDES. If only someone could imitate CHILDES and create
ADULTS...(SHARING data, not using it only for one project).
I would also greatly appreciate suggestions, English, but also other vocal
languages and sign languages. There is some for French done by the lab ICAR,
daily conversations, but you need special access for the data itself (

> Dear CHILDES community,
>
> I am looking for adult-to-adult conversations, in American English (so the
> BNC is out), that have been transcribed and are in digital format.  I want
> to compare adult-to-adult speech with adult-to-child speech.  CHILDES (thank
> you, Brian) gives us thousands of hours of adult-to-child.  I don't need
> *thousands* of hours of adult-to-adult but I would like several hours of
> normal conversation.  Hence, I do not want very short routine phone
> conversations.  Nor do I want academic conversations, including
> student-to-student conversations about difficult topics like DNA.  CoCA is
> not usable because one can only search it, not download whole
> conversations.  Suggestions will be gratefully received either via this list
> or to me at virginia.valian at hunter.cuny.edu
