Project Description

The database contains 157 transcripts of monolingual speakers of Croatian, in the age-span from 3 to 11 years. Data was collected using the picture book Frog, where are you (Mayer 1969).

The completion of this corpus could not have been possible without the participation and assistance of many people that helped with the data collection and transcription. Most of all we would like to express our deep appreciation to all participants, to students Lucija Marčinković and Maja Mamula and to doctoral students Sara Košutar, Lucija Kuvačić and Matea Kramarić. Please see this link for a general description of the Frog Story methods.
