麦克阿瑟-贝茨交际发展量表 (CDI) 是广泛使用的家长报告工具系列，可轻松且廉价地收集有关早期语言习得的数据。 CDI 数据已被用来探索各种理论上重要的主题，但是，除了少数例外，研究人员不得不依赖在自己的实验室收集的数据。在本文中，我们通过提出 Wordbank 来解决这个问题，这是一个与可浏览的 Web 界面相结合的 CDI 数据结构化数据库。 Wordbank 跨语言和实验室存档 CDI 数据，为对早期语言感兴趣的研究人员提供资源，并为新颖的分析提供平台。该网站允许在个别儿童和特定单词的层面上交互式探索词汇增长模式。我们还推出了wordbankr，一个直接连接数据库的软件包。这些工具共同扩展了学生和研究人员探索词汇发展定量趋势的能力。
The MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs) are a widely used family of parent-report instruments for easy and inexpensive data-gathering about early language acquisition. CDI data have been used to explore a variety of theoretically important topics, but, with few exceptions, researchers have had to rely on data collected in their own lab. In this paper, we remedy this issue by presenting Wordbank, a structured database of CDI data combined with a browsable web interface. Wordbank archives CDI data across languages and labs, providing a resource for researchers interested in early language, as well as a platform for novel analyses. The site allows interactive exploration of patterns of vocabulary growth at the level of both individual children and particular words. We also introduce wordbankr, a software package for connecting to the database directly. Together, these tools extend the abilities of students and researchers to explore quantitative trends in vocabulary development.
