The Wheat and the Chaff: Or Four Confusions Regarding CHILDES.
MacWhinney, Brian; Snow, Catherine
Journal of Child Language, v19 n2 p459-471 Jun 1992
Provides critical analysis of Edwards (1992) presentation of a set of examples from the Child Language Data Exchange System as prototypes of bad transcription practice. The analysis argues that Edward's approach causes the development of an overly rigid set of principles that could stop progress in the analysis of spontaneous language samples. (six references) (GLR)
