PyLangAcq: Language Acquisition Research in Python

Project description

Full documentation: https://pylangacq.org


PyPI version Supported Python versions Build

PyLangAcq is a Python library for language acquisition research.

  • Comprehensive capabilities of handling CHAT transcripts as used in CHILDES

  • Intuitive Python data structures for flexible data access and manipulation for modeling work

  • Standard developmental measures readily available: Mean length of utterance (MLU), type-token ratio (TTR), and index of productive syntax (IPSyn)

  • More benefits from Python: Fast prototyping, numerous libraries for computational modeling and machine learning

  • Powerful extensions for research with conversational data in general
