C H I L D E S The PhonBank Project

PhonBank is supported by grant RO1-HD051698 from NIH-NICHHD to Brian MacWhinney and Yvan Rose. The title is "A Shared Database for the Study of Phonological Development." This new database will rely on the PHON program, being designed and built by Yvan Rose and Greg Hedlund. PHON is designed to facilitate phonological and phonetic analysis of data transcribed in CHAT. We are working with a group of child phonologists to construct PhonBank. Currently available materials include:
