PyLangAcq: Language Acquisition Research in Python#
PyLangAcq is a Python library for language acquisition research.
Easy access to CHILDES and other TalkBank datasets
Intuitive Python data structures for flexible data access and manipulation
Standard developmental measures readily available: Mean length of utterance (MLU), type-token ratio (TTR), and index of productive syntax (IPSyn)
Direct support and powerful extensions possible for CHAT-formatted conversational datasets more generally
Download and Install#
To download and install the most recent version:
