DESCRIPTION OF DERIVED CORPUS

This is a phonologized corpus of French infant-directed speech, which includes only speech from adults in the presence of children under 2 years old.
It is based on the orthographic transcriptions of 8 different French corpora available in CHILDES (see list further below).
The phonological transcriptions were created combining a phonological dictionary (Lexique 3.80) and a script designed to
apply the following French phonological rules: Liaison, Liquid Deletion, "Je"-devoicing and Resyllabification.
