Abstract

In order to gain more insight into stress pattern acquisition by children, we are in need of large datasets and analysis tools that can analyze those data sets. This paper suggests a new way to analyze PhonBank corpora by automatically loading in the data and plotting it in different ways, focusing on stress pattern acquisition. This method is applied to three longitudinal and two cross-sectional corpora of Dutch, German, and English. The results show that there are some aspects of previously proposed theories that are in need of further investigation.
