Project Description

The ELI, the University of Michigan, and John Swales gave permission to include the corpus in TalkBank in 2017. Reformatting to CHAT was done in 2019 by Franklin Chen.

The full description of this project is given in the MICASE Manual .

We have not re-implemented the MICASE search engine, but similar searches can be done using CLAN and the TalkBankDB search engine.
