"In summary, Brian MacWhinney has provided a comprehensive
discussion and explanation of the CHILDES Project in these books.
The issues addressed should make them of interest to SLA
researchers, as well as to the main audience of child language
researchers."
—TESL-EJ"CHILDES can clearly be adapted to the needs of SLA
researchers, especially where such research demands recourse to
massive quantities of second language (L2) data and sophisticated
coding mechanisms....The updated and expanded exposition of CHILDES
in MacWhinney (2000) makes the enormous effect of the project on
the field of child L1 acquisition unmistakable."
