Clive Souter wrote a manual to accompany the corpus, his email has changed
from the one cited by Marie Helt to: cs@scs.leeds.ac.uk
(note that UK internet users no longer drive on the left, ie back-to-front!)
The ICAME distributed version is briefly described on WWW:
Orthographic transcriptions of some 61,000 words of child language data.
The corpus is parsed according to Hallidayan systemic-functional grammar.
There is no prosodic information.
Clive Souter also has the original sound recordings (acoustic and digital
cassettes) and I understand would be interested to hear if anyone
has a practical use for these!
I hope this clears up this misunderstanding...
