Project Description

This is a corpus from a Spanish-speaking deaf child with the pseudonym “Berta” who is using cued speech. Berta was born on 12-JUN-2003. The corpus includes coding of gestures on the the %gpx tier as either iconic, deictic, conventional, or ritual. There are 159 files recorded at regular intervals from the age of 1;6 after cochlear implantation to 5.5. Apart from being deaf, the child was also later diagnosed as ADHD. The tapes were transcribed by Rafael Santana, Ignacio Moreno-Torres, and Santiago Torres.

The files are logically grouped into these six segments:

Pre-implantation samples (17 months old). Samples: 1-4
First year of Cochlear implant use. (18-30 months old) Samples: 5-57
Second year of Cochlear implant use. (31-42 months old) Samples: 57-108
Third year of Cochlear implant use. (43-54 months old) Samples: 109-136
Fourth year of Cochlear implant use, until Metilfenidate treatment for ADHD began. (55-60 months old). Samples: 137-147
Fourth year of Cochlear implant use, while receiving medical treatment for ADHD. (61-66 months old). Samples: 148-159

The gesture codes used are as follows:
