CHILDES (Brian MacWhinney, Steven Gillis)

The CHILDES project provides a large database of first and second language acquisition data from over 30 languages in a constant format, called CHAT. There are also programs for Windows and Macintosh that permit analysis of this database as well as alignment of text to speech and video.
