Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES)

The Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES) is a research database that collects and analyzes recordings of children's language development. It allows linguists, educators, and researchers to study how children learn to speak and understand language as they grow. By providing access to transcripts of conversations between children and caregivers, CHILDES helps researchers observe patterns in language acquisition, such as vocabulary growth and grammar usage. This resource supports studies in child language development, contributing to our understanding of how language skills evolve in early childhood.
