Project Description

This directory contains the transcripts from the single Spanish-speaking child in the Serra / Solé longitudinal study of 10 children. In the larger study, five children are monolingual Catalan, four are bilingual Catalan-Spanish, and one is monolingual Spanish. The Spanish speaking-child, Eduard, was videotaped from 1;4 to 3;10 from 1986 to 1989. He was videotaped at his homes in spontaneous interaction with his mother, in sessions of 30 to 45 minutes. The family was middle-class.

The times for the recording of the 11 files from Eduard are as follows:
