ISACCO: a corpus for investigating spoken and written language development in Italian school-age children

We present ISACCO (Italian school-age children corpus)1, a new corpus of oral and written retellings of Italian speaking children attending the primary school. All texts were digitalized and automatically enriched with linguistic information allowing preliminary explorations based on NLP features. Written retellings were also manually annotated with a typology of linguistic errors. The resource is conceived to support research and computational modeling of "later language acquisition", with an emphasis for comparative assessment of oral and written language skills across early school grades.
