Gender-Differences

Checking for differences in overregularization rates between male and female children

Motivation

In collaboration with Charles Yang and Kyle Gorman, I have developed a Python package to identify correct past-tense tokens and overregularized tokens in the CHILDES database. Using this information, we investigate the reported differences in overregularization rates between male and female children.

Arguments

-s, --scriptdir (default "scripts/")

-t, --tagger (default NLTK)

-x, --overwrite (false)

-o, --outputdir (default "output_$TAGGERNAME")
