The current proposal offers a structured platform to collect, document, code and analyse Georgian child language in order to study various aspects of typical language acquisition. This is essential in order to set the norms for further investigation into delayed and atypical language development. The study will provide researchers and practitioners from the field of language disorders with developmental data about the emergence of morpho-syntactic structures and lexical development in Georgia.

An annotated and fully coded Georgian Child Language Corpus will be created, which will be accessible to researchers in the field both in Georgia and to the language acquisition community at large, accessible to speech and language therapists; available for multiple types of analyses (morphological, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic);
informative of the input as well as the cultural aspects of language acquisition.
