Project Description

Ryu Corpus is the Korean L1 data consists of longitudinal video-recorded speech samples of adult-child interaction from three children. The data was collected from February 2009 to March 2011. The data collection period was from one and a half years to two years. Speech samples were taken every one month for 1 hour. No matter how many times they took a recording, caretakers were required to take video totally for 1 hour each month. We set the book-reading situation during caretaker-child interaction at the children’s homes. Caretakers could be mother, father, grandmother, or grandfather.

Table 1: Children in the Longitudinal Data
Children Age range Sex and Sibling Length of Data
JONG 1;3~3;5 M, no siblings 31hr 37min
JOO 1;9~3;10 F, one older sister 29hr 2min
YUN 2;3~3;9 M, no siblings 20hr 36min
Total 81hr15min

This data set covers an extended period of acquisition, and includes relatively early stages of development, which is essential to see the emergence and subsequent development of aspectual marking in children’s speech. The child-directed speech (input) includes the utterances from all of the caretakers. In total, about 81hr 15min of data can be analyzed.
