Researchers have developed a system to automatically identify and quantify filler-gap dependencies in child language acquisition data. This system analyzes three core constructions in spoken English corpora, distinguishing between subject, object, and adjunct extraction sites. By applying this tool to 57 English CHILDES corpora, the study characterizes the input children receive and their production trajectories, enabling new avenues for research in both developmental linguistics and computational studies.
