VP-Kids v.1.2         [See lists ]       [Random kid words here ]    
Classic or BNC/COCA versions of VP are weak at identifying lexical growth in young children (Horst & Collins, 2006) so this dedicated profiler was developed (by Roessingh & Cobb, 2008) to match transcribed child language against ten 250-word lemma lists generalized from several empirical studies of oral productions by Stemach & Williams (1988).
