Sažetak
Due to the strong influence of frequency on language acquisition, language processing, and memory processes, frequency dictionaries are an indispensable source of data in linguistics. Twenty years after the publication of the Croatian Corpus of Child Language (Kovačević, 2002), the creation of a frequency dictionary of child language was a logical next step aimed at making data on the acquisition of the Croatian language easily accessible in a different way. Through the synergy of a linguist, speech-language therapist, and computer expert, data on word frequencies obtained from the speech samples of three Croatian children, aged 13 to 28 months, were incorporated into the dictionary using methods of computational linguistics and language technologies. The frequency dictionary of the Croatian child language is the first lexicological source of data on the language development of Croatian children. The dictionary consists of two parts. The first part, Frequency Dictionary of the Croatian Child Language: Lemmas (178 pages), contains a list of lemmas, while the second part, Frequency Dictionary of the Croatian Child Language: Morphological and Developmental Forms (738 pages), contains not only the list of lemmas but also the list of morphological forms of each lemma. This required morphosyntactic tagging and is a novel approach in the development of dictionaries of child language. The dictionary was created as part of two projects: Computer assistant supporting text input for individuals with language disorders (RC.2.2.08-050) and Multilevel approach to spoken discourse in language development (UIP2017-05- 6603).
