Description

The current version of the corpus comprises 58 oral texts (for a total of 7,429 tokens) and 125 written texts (for a total of 13,909 tokens). All texts were collected by asking children to perform a narrative retelling task, which was proposed as part of their school activities and administered in class. This resource is conceived to support research and computational modeling of "later language acquisition", with a special emphasis for comparative assessment of language skills along the diamesic dimension (i.e. across different media) and across early school grades.
