Abstract

The proposed article focuses on the application possibilities of corpus linguistics to the research of the child-adult speech interaction, and more specifically – the CHILDES automated computerized system for language data exchange, freely ac-cessible online at https://childes.talkbank.org. The main aim of the report is to present the first Bulgarian corpus, Bulgarian La-bLing Corpus (https://childes.talkbank.org/access/Slavic/Bulgarian/LabLing.html), where the linguistic resources are transcribed and annotated according to the terms of the platform, as well as to point out the advantages of the latter. Those include the conditions provided by CHILDES for improved precision in the collecting, transcribing and coding of the data, along with the automation of the analysis of large quantities of spoken material, which considerably enlarges the empirical basis on which new theories are built.
