Abstract
CHILDES is a widely used resource of transcribed child and child-directed speech. This paper introduces UD-English-CHILDES, the first officially released Universal Dependencies (UD) treebank derived from previously dependency-annotated CHILDES data with consistent and unified annotation guidelines. Our corpus harmonizes annotations from 11 children and their caregivers, totaling over 48k sentences. We validate existing gold-standard annotations under the UD v2 framework and provide an additional 1M silver-standard sentences, offering a consistent resource for computational and linguistic research.
