VALID - vulnerability in language acquisition: language impairments in Dutch

Summary

An open access multimedia archive of language pathology data collected in the Netherlands, primarily on Dutch, audio files and transcripts. Currently, this corpus contains 5 different data sets. In the VALID data archive old, current and future data can be brought together.

Background

VALID, an open access multimedia language data archive, facilitates and promotes innovative research in the area of language impairment. There are a number of compelling reasons for exchanging and sharing this kind of data. Obviously, in a small country like the Netherlands a considerably smaller amount of language data is being collected than in much larger regions, especially so with respect to language disorders, a highly specific research domain. The combination of a wide range of language impairments in one data archive not only enhances the study of similar impairments but also advances comparisons between different disorders. Moreover, the inclusion of different age groups allows for quasi-longitudinal research designs. Finally, analysis of task properties and effects that are specific to pathological language groups can make a significant contribution to evidence-based research.

The following data sets define the launching platform for the VALID data archive, together with the BISLI data set that is currently being curated (FESLI):

The SLI RU-Kentalis database: the expression of spatial relations by children with SLI and normally developing children in their spoken language production
The UU SLI-Dyslexia project database: early language development in children at familial risk of dyslexia
The bilingual deaf children RU-Kentalis database: the bilingual language and communication development of young deaf children in Sign Language of the Netherlands (SLN) and Dutch (D)
The ADHD and SLI corpus UvA database: the language and executive functioning profiles of children with ADHD and children with SLI and TD children
The deaf adults RU database: the acquisition of morphosyntactic aspects of Dutch by deaf Dutch adults (late L1/early L2) and hearing Turkish and Moroccan-Arabic L2-learners of Dutch (late L2).

For all data sets concerned, written informed consent from the participants or their caretakers has been obtained. Informants or their caretakers have agreed to share their speech/language data and metadata, on the condition of anonymity, which will be ensured by the data providers and infrastructure specialists Contacts

DBD/TCULT

DBD - Dutch Bilingualism Database, TCULT - Talen en Culturen in Utrechtse Lombok en Transvaal

Summary

The CLARIN NL supported data sets are part of an already existing collection: Dutch Bilingualism Database housed at the MPI for Psycholinguistics that are both also CLARIN compatible. The addtional DBD / TCULT data were curated by the CLARIN DCS (http://dev.clarin.nl/node/1963) and delivered in February 2014.

Background

The original DBD data was collected, curated and digitised in a project led by Pieter Muysken from 2003-2008 and stored at the MPI for Psycholinguistics. The DBD is a rather substantial collection of data (over 1,500 sessions) from a number of projects and research programmes that were directed at investigating multilingualism and comprises data originating from Dutch, Sranan, Sarnami, Papiamentu, Arabic, Berber and 1Turkish speakers . At the basis of the collection is the research project TCULT[1] (1998-2002) in which intercultural language contacts in the Dutch city of Utrecht were studied. DBD established a first curation of the TCULT data and added many more bilingual data sets collected in the period 1985 – 2005.
