Tong Corpus

The Tong corpus is part of a larger study covering the naturalistic interactions between a Mandarin-speaking child Tong and his caregivers from age 1;0 to 4;5. The spontaneous play situation was audiotaped for one hour each week since 1;0, and video recording started at 2;3. In an effort to improve on published child Mandarin corpora, we constructed the audio- or video-linked longitudinal corpus with denser sampling, and documented naturalistic adult-to-child input over the entire period of study.
