childeswordfreq: Word and Phrase Frequency Tools for CHILDES
Tools for extracting word and phrase frequencies from the Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES) database via the 'childesr' API. Supports type-level word counts, token-mode searches with simple wildcard patterns and part-of-speech filters, optional stemming, and Zipf-scaled frequencies. Provides normalization per number of tokens or utterances, speaker-role breakdowns, dataset summaries, and export to Excel workbooks for reproducible child language research. The CHILDES database is maintained at <https://talkbank.org/childes/>.
