In child language studies, morphological analysis is a valuable tool for both researchers and clinicians. This corpus aims to contribute future language research, child language acquisition theory, and psycholinguistics in general. Hand-tagging is time consuming and subject to human error. As such, the MOR program for automatic analysis and part-of-speech tagging was introduced into the CHILDES system to address these problems. To date, MOR analysis programs have been constructed for 11 languages. Once a child language corpus has been automatically tagged by MOR, it is then possible to automate various systems for the assessment and identification of disorders in child language. The annotated corpora will support three different kinds of investigations: 1) Basic child language developmental research that examines the sequence of acquisition of grammatical morphemes. as well as the various morphosyntactic processes of the language, 2) Computational modeling of child language acquisition in Egyptian Arabic, and 3) Diagnosis of language differences and disorders through methods such as automation of IPSYN or DSS scores. This Egyptian Arabic child language corpus consists of 8,467 utterances comprising 31,305 word-tokens (5594 word-types) from 10 children between the ages of 1;7 to 3;7. This paper discusses methods for preparing data for MOR analysis and developing MOR grammar. Additionally, the content outlines rules for controlling allomorphy and morpheme concatenation. The emergence of this new line of work is a step forward in child language research in Egyptian Arabic.

This corpus is special in many ways. It is the first corpus of a spoken Arabic for Egyptian children. It is a collection of longitudinal child language data. It is a speech- based corpus transcribed from recordings of spontaneous conversations. This spontaneous speech transcribed later using the CHAT format as described in the CHILDES (Child Language Exchange System) database. It provides data in consistent fully documented transcription system. The corpus text files transcribed from 10 children (5 boys - 5 girls) aged in range from 1.6 (one year and half) to 4 years with about 5 hour recordings. We obtained audio recording of thirty minutes spontaneous speech which produced by children in natural settings. The children divided into five Age groups according to their age. Each group was increase by five months. The recording of children was by a transcriber and parents. The transcripts of spoken interactions provide a vast amount of useful data for linguistic, psychological, and sociological studies of child language. Audio data presented in WAV file format. Broad phonemic transcription was manually by using CHILDES Unicode and chat program codes of transcription. Transcription based on orthographic conventions of English using IPA symbols. Approximately 15 GB of audio file transcribed. The size of the corpus is nearly 25,645 utterances based on audio files by 10 children.

Abstract: The main focus of the present paper is on the construction of a MOR grammar for Egyptian children. We also introduce a morphological analyzer that was specifically developed for Egyptian children corpus. Morphological analysis is so crucial for child language studies. The corpus will be an instrument for future investigations of language development, child language acquisition theory and psycholinguistics in general. Egyptian children hand tagging of child transcript is time-consuming and error-prone. The MOR program for automatic analysis and part of speech tagging was introduced into the CHILDES system to address these problems. To date, MOR analysis programs have been constructed for 11 languages that do not include Arabic; the Arabic language do not have yet a MOR lexicons. Thus, one must create a system of part of speech using the automatic tools provided by CLAN. Once a child language corpus has been automatically tagged by MOR, it is then possible to automate various systems for assessment and diagnosis of child language. The annotated corpora will support three different kinds of investigation: 1) Basic child language developmental research that examines the sequence of acquisition of grammatical morphemes and the various morphosyntactic processes of the language. 2) Computational modeling of child language acquisition, and 3) Diagnosis of language differences and disorders through methods such as automation of IPSYN or DSS scores. The corpus data contained 26,700 words, all the data are transcribed in CHAT. The paper discusses methods for preparing data for MOR analysis and developing MOR grammars. Describe the shape of rules for controlling Allomorphy and morpheme concatenation. Finally the Egyptian morphological analysis is ill-starred and followed by discussion and future work. The emergence of this new line of work represents a major step forward for Egyptian child language research.

Linguistic annotation of the corpora provides researchers with better means for exploring the development of grammatical constructions and their usage. This is an initial annotated corpus for Egyptian children. It implements part of speech tag (POS) especially a morphologically annotated corpus of spoken Arabic child language. POS are made in "%mor" 'morphology' tiers manually. Coding language transcripts for computer analysis is a daunting task. It approximately took 170 hours, and thus manual annotation focused on a particular child. The POS coding process started with a purely manually annotation of 2701words. 1380 words annotated for an adult and 1321 annotated words for the child was handled. Annotated child language proved to be challenging, and time consuming task. The MOR grammar exists in many languages, such as English, French, German, Japanese, Cantonese, Hebrew, and they are generated automatically, the CLAN has the automatic coding system "MOR program". In Egyptian Arabic, this is not applied for two reasons. First, there is no previous Egyptian Arabic work done on a constructing system for such a representation. Second, morphology of Egyptian Arabic is very rich and different from other languages. Thus, their rules cannot be applied to Arabic. In the two Arabic studies of Qatari and Emirati languages, semi-automatic and mini automatic MOR is used. Finally, certain applications of linguistic analysis commands are provided by using CLAN software. The analyses include frequency counts, word searches, co-occurrence analyses; MLU (mean length of utterance) counts and analyzes specified pairs of utterances. Transcript data provide some morphological analysis, such as mean length of utterance (MLU) counts, lexical analysis, such as frequency (FREQ) count, syntactic analysis, such as searching the data for specified combinations of words or complex string patterns (COMBO) count, as well as the discourse and interactional analysis, such as analyzes specified pairs of utterances (CHIP) count.

Depended on 30 minutes transcripts of spontaneous speech production the following properties of collected data were analysed: size of vocabulary and frequency of word use in relation to age (development of types and tokens) and individual differences in vocabulary size. The contribution of the current study lies in the use of vocabulary profile results as a measure of potential indicators of developmental language delay. The results provide a new measurement tool for lexical growth at different developmental stages.
