Datasets and dictionaries

7658LT7mosChild_5_minscoartic.csv - used to run 1_acoustic_results.Rmd; dataframe containing the acoustic measures of coarticulation for all word tokens in each caregiver-child interaction at 7, 10, 18 (where applicable), and 24 months

IPhOD2_Words.csv - the Irvine Phonotactic Online Dictionary, Version 2.0 (Vaden et al., 2009)

acoustic_measures.csv - dataframe generated from 1_acoustic_results.Rmd; contains formant measurements, coarticulation measures, vowel space measurements, phone duration, and word duration from all word tokens in each caregiver-child interaction at 7, 10, 18 (where applicable), and 24 months

ethnicity_data.csv - used to run 2_lexical_results.Rmd; contains demographic information for children

med_formants.csv - used to run 1_acoustic_results.Rmd; contains formant measurements generated by triple formant tracker triple formant tracker for all peripheral vowels in all word tokens in each caregiver-child interaction at 7, 10, 18 (where applicable), and 24 months

stat.frq.csv - used to run 2_lexical_results.Rmd; dataframe generated from Newman-Ratner corpus via CLAN; contains counts for all word tokens in each caregiver-child interaction at 7, 10, 18 (where applicable), and 24 months

Analysis
