We have nearly completed a corpus of children's writing here at Lancaster. It
will become available soon. It is described in the proceedings of PALC 97
(Practical Applications of Language Corpora, Lodz, Poland) and the latest issue
of Literary & Linguistics Computing. Please get in touch if you'd like more
info.

> Hello,
> My name is Silvia Drago and I recently graduated here at the University of
> Padua. My dissertation was 'Medieval English Literature 'Retold' for
> Children'. I built a very modest corpus (55036 words)of Children's
> Literture.
> Two years ago I had written Collins Cobuild asking if they were
> working on a children-spoken corpus. They told me there was work in progress
> but when I recently re-wrote, they informed me that no further progress had
> been made on the children's corpus since then.
> I was kindly given this address. Is there anyone working on
> children's corpora at the moment?
> Thank you very much for your time and attention,
> Best regards,
