databases with sibling information?

[Cathy Lonngren]

Hi,

Again I don't know whether my corpus would be of interest but it contains
naturalistic interactions (dinner time, playing games, chatting etc) where
the main speakers are a mother and her two children (2 and half years
difference between them). It is a longitudinal corpus spanning
approximately 3 years (at the first recording the siblings were ages 3:5
and 5:10). It is a bilingual corpus (English and Brazilian Portuguese)
where my aim was to study the codeswitching practices of the family, so
that clearly adds another variable into the equation. The whole corpus is
coded for addressee (and language) so that may aid analysis. I am currently
checking the last few files but anticipate it's addition to the CHILDES
database very soon. However, if you were interested I would be happy for
you to have access before its contribution.

Regards,
