Subject: New German-English corpus available - MPI EVA Leipzig Corpus


We are pleased to announce that the first German-English bilingual
corpus is now available on the CHILDES platform.
This longitudinal and dense corpus contains transcripts of spontaneous
child–adult interaction involving three bilingual children. At
present, only the data from Fion are available, with the remaining
children’s corpora to be added in the near future.
The Fion corpus spans the period from age 2;3 to 3;11, comprising 211
hours of recordings with 53,372 child utterances and 120,511 input
utterances (excluding utterances containing unintelligible parts such
as xxx). When including incomplete and partially intelligible
utterances, the totals rise to 108,474 utterances for the child and
184,923 utterances for the input.
The data can be accessed through the CHILDES database here:
https://talkbank.org/childes/access/Biling/MPI-EVA-Leipzig.html
We hope this contribution will serve as a useful tool for the
community, and we welcome any feedback from researchers making use of
the data.
