The corpus
An audio-visual corpus has been collected involving regular sessions of natural interaction of Mendía, a monolingual middle class girl living in Madrid (Spain), whose mother tongue is European Spanish. Data were further transcribed into CHAT format files. The recordings were made between June 2006 and January 2007 (see Table 2) in the context of playing with objects and reading illustrated books for children.
Data were recorded with a video camera SONY DCR-HC27 Mini DV at the girl’s home who was accompanied by one of her regular caregivers (mother, father or aunt). The whole corpus contains 32 sessions, corresponding to 21.5 hours of recording. The duration of the recording sessions was an average of 43 '20''.
The sessions have been transcribed orthographically, and include extra-linguistic information (gestures, actions and vocalizations). Transcriptions were verified by a second observer.
General information and Further Development
First born and only child.
Born at term.
Birth weight:
11, 23 pounds
The girl didn’t suffer from any major illnesses
or ear infections.
She went to the crèche when she was 16
weeks old, 6 hours per day.
No contact with other languages.
Parents with higher education college degrees coming from:
Mother: Madrid (Spain) (more than 50,000 inhabitants).
Father: Salamanca (Spain) (more than 50,000 inhabitants)
The mother reported that the girl has acquired language development milestones and psychomotor skills within standard percentiles.
The girl was given a test screening of global linguistic performance the PLON-R: Language Oral Test of Navarra (Aguinaga, Armentia Fraile, Olanga and Uriz (2004), at 4;3 years of age to verify her language development was within regular standards. In addition, she was recorded at the age of 4;6 to proof that the little girl had regular lexical and grammatical developments.
Furthermore, a follow-up of her communicative-linguistic development has been carried out from the very start of the recording sessions up to 30 months through parental reports of the Spanish adaptation of MacArthur CDI (Lopez Ornat, Gallego, Gallo, Karousou, Mariscal and Martinez (2005). General information is included in Table 1.
