    Angela, Eva,
    The ICAME CD-ROM http://helmer.aksis.uib.no/icame/cd/
    includes the Polytechnic of Wales Corpus:
    Orthographic transcriptions of some 61,000 words of child English language.
    The corpus is parsed according to Hallidayan systemic-functional
    grammar. There is no prosodic information. See further
    Clive Souter (1989) A Short Handbook to the Polytechnic of Wales Corpus
    online: http://khnt.hit.uib.no/icame/manuals/pow.htm
    and ICAME Journal paper on using POW corpus in grammar-learning:
    Clive Souter (1989) The COMMUNAL Project: Extracting a grammar from the
    Polytechnic of Wales Corpus, ICAME Journal 13, p20-27
    and the presentation of the edited version of the corpus in
    Tim F. O'Donoghue (1991) Taking a Parsed Corpus to the Cleaners: The EPOW
    Corpus, ICAME Journal 15 p55-62.

I have already used the COLT material and parts of the CHILDES project. Is there any other source of spoken child/adolescent language available on CD- ROM? Thank you very much in advance for your help.
