Abstract

The present paper focuses on the possibilities offered by corpus linguistics in the study of child speech, with its specificities as a linguistic phenomenon. An attempt is made to highlight the advantages of the CHILDES system for studying spontaneous speech interaction in the Bulgarian corpus of child language (Bulgarian LabLing Corpus), in which the data are transcribed and annotated within this paradigm.
