Hello,
My name is Silvia Drago and I recently graduated here at the University of
Padua. My dissertation was 'Medieval English Literature 'Retold' for
Children'. I built a very modest corpus (55036 words)of Children's
Literture.
Two years ago I had written Collins Cobuild asking if they were
working on a children-spoken corpus. They told me there was work in progress
but when I recently re-wrote, they informed me that no further progress had
been made on the children's corpus since then.
I was kindly given this address. Is there anyone working on
children's corpora at the moment?
Thank you very much for your time and attention,
Best regards,
Silvia Drago
