second million

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Info-CHILDES,

    Some time this morning the CHILDES server recorded hit number 2,000,000 since we started counting in 2003.  It had reached one million in 2011, so the curve is definitely inflected, as is the course of child language research.  Thanks to all of you for making this resource possible.
   I think it will be most fun now to count new milestones in terms of Fibonacci numbers.  So, the next milestones will be 3 million, 5 million, 8 million, and 13 million.  It will be interesting to see when these happen.

Best,

-- Brian MacWhinney
