Holland, A., Miller, J., Reinmuth, O., Bartlett, C., Fromm, D., Pashek, G., Stein, D., & Swindell, C. (1985). Rapid recovery from aphasia: A detailed language analysis. Brain and Language, 24, 156–173.

General Overview

These language transcripts were gathered under the direction of Audrey Holland and O.M. Reinmuth as part of research project funded by NINCDS entitled “Early Language Recovery Following Stroke.” Dr. Holland contributed them to the CHILDES database in 1986 and reformatted them from SALT to CHAT in 1988.

Patients were seen for 15 minutes a day, 6 days per week throughout the course of their hospitalization, beginning at 24 to 72 hours post-stroke. The daily visits were conducted by two trained speech-language pathologists: one to converse with the patient and the other to observe, tape record, and tally features of the interaction. For most patients there are three transcribed conversations, representing 5-minute segments from the first, middle, and last visits made during the patient’s hospitalization. A comment near the beginning of the file indicates which visit it is. Visit information is also listed in the chart below. For example, there are three files for the patient coded as 01: 01a.cha, 01b.cha, and 01c.cha. The corresponding visit numbers for each file are: 1, 17, and 34. In this case, the patient had 34 total visits: 01a is the first, 01b the seventeenth, and 01c the thirty-fourth and last.
