Publication

Abstract

This is a corpus of transcribed spontaneous child-adult interactions in Czech. It consists of 99,358 tokens in 41,585 utterances produced by seven children between ca 1.5 to 3.5 years of age, and 238,073 tokens in 60,734 utterances produced by their close caregivers in everyday situations at home.

The corpus covers language production of the children from the mean length of 1.01 word per utterance up to 5.33 words per utterance. The length of the recorded period ranges for individual children from 11 to 27 months.

The transcripts of both child and adult utterances were lemmatized and tagged using MorphoDiTa, a tool for automatic morphological analysis of Czech. The annotation was transformed into the MOR format.
