Abstract
Psycholinguistic research with children requires child-specific word databases, as adult word databases are not appropriate for a number of reasons. While some child-specific word databases do exist, they are not available in all languages. This article describes the development of a child-specific word frequency database in Greek. This database, named HelexKids, provides standardised values for word frequency, dispersion and contextual diversity. HelexKids is freely available online for all researchers and educators to use. The advantages of using child-specific databases in research with children and future directions for further development of this database are discussed.
