PyLangAcq is a Python library for language acquisition research.

  • Easy access to CHILDES and other TalkBank datasets

  • Intuitive Python data structures for flexible data access and manipulation

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

  • Direct support and powerful extensions possible for CHAT-formatted conversational datasets more generally
