This page provides an index to TalkBank CA data. These files include both traditional CA ("Heritage") transcripts and transcripts in the newer CA/CHAT format. All of the materials referenced here are naturalistic conversations amenable to CA analysis. To download the corpus, click on the link in the Corpus column. To download the media, click on the link in the Media column.

We use stars to rate the extent to which the transcripts capture detailed conversational phenomena. Transcripts with only one star have not yet been transcribed in CA, but include interesting materials that could eventually be transcribed in CA format.
