CHILDES Database

The CHILDES system (Child Language Data Exchange System) provides tools for studying conversational interactions. These tools include a database of transcripts, programs for computer analysis of transcripts, methods for linguistic coding, and systems for linking transcripts to digitized audio and video.

The CHILDES database contains transcript and media data collected from conversations with young children. The database includes a rich variety of computerized transcripts from language learners. Most of these transcripts record spontaneous conversational interactions.

The speakers involved are often young monolingual, normally developing children conversing with their parents or siblings. However, there are also transcripts from bilingual children, older school-aged children, adult second-language learners, children with various types of language disabilities, and aphasics who are trying to recover from language loss.

The transcripts include data on the learning of 26 different languages.
