Corpora in Language Acquisition Research; Editorial page; Title page; LCC data; Table of contents; List of contributors; Preface; Corpora in language acquisition research: History, methods, perspectives; How big is big enough?; Core morphology in child directed speech; Learning the English auxiliary; Using corpora to examine discourse effects in syntax; Integration of multiple probabilistic cues in syntax acquisition; Enriching CHILDES for morphosyntactic analysis; Exploiting corpora for language acquisition research; References; Index; The series Trends in Language Acquisition Research.

Summary: Corpus research forms the backbone of research on children's language development. Leading researchers in the field present a survey on the history of data collection, different types of data, and the treatment of methodological problems. Morphologically and syntactically parsed corpora allow for the concise explorations of formal phenomena, the quick retrieval of errors, and reliability checks. New probabilistic and connectionist computations investigate how children integrate the multiple sources of information available in the input, and new statistical methods compute rates of acquisition.
