PhonBank and Data Sharing: Recent Developments in European Portuguese

摘要

This paper presents the recently published RAMALHO-EP and PHONODIS corpora. Both include European Portuguese production data from Portuguese children with typical (RAMALHO-EP) and protracted (PHONODIS) phonological development. The data in the two corpora were collected using the phonological assessment tool CLCP-EP, developed in the context of the Crosslinguistic Child Phonology Project, coordinated by Barbara Bernhardt and Joe Stemberger (University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada). Both corpora are part of the PhonBank Project (Brian MacWhinney (Carnegie Mellon, USA) and Yvan Rose (Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada), which is the child phonology component of TalkBank, coordinated by Brian MacWhinney. The data at PhonBank is edited in Phon format, a language tool designed and built by Yvan Rose and Greg Hedlund (Memorial University of Newfoundland) and widely used by researchers working in the field of phonological acquisition. RAMALHO-EP contains production data from 87 typically developing children, aged 2; 11 to 6;04, all monolinguals. PHONODIS includes production data from 22 children diagnosed with different types of speech and language disorders, all EP monolinguals, aged 3;2 to 11,05. Both corpora are open access language resources and contribute to enlarge the amount of production data on the acquisition of European Portuguese available in PhonBank.
