  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/>.
