The acronym CLAN stands for Computerized Language ANalysis. CLAN is designed specifically to analyze data transcribed in the CHAT format. This is the format used in the various segments of the TalkBank system. There are three parts to the overall TalkBank manual. part 1 describes the CHAT transcription system. part 2 (this current manual) describes the CLAN analysis programs. part 3 describes the segments of the CLAN Program that perform automatic morphosyntactic analysis. Why you want to learn CLAN If you are a researcher studying conversational interaction, language learning, or language disorders, you will want to learn to use CLAN, because it will help you address basic research questions and explore many different language types.

9 If you are a clinician, CLAN can help you analyze data from individual clients and compare them against a large database of similar transcripts. For both these purposes, CLAN emphasizes the automatic computation of indices such as MLU, TTR, DSS, and IPSyn. It also provides powerful methods for speeding transcription, linking transcripts to media, sending data to automatic acoustic analysis, and automatic computation of a wide range of morphosyntactic features. For conversation analysts, CLAN provides the full range of Jeffersonian markings within a computationally clear framework. For all these purposes, CLAN is available free, as is the huge TalkBank database of transcripts compatible with CLAN analyses. Learning CLAN The first six chapters of this manual provide a basic introduction to CLAN. However, most users will find that it is best to begin learning about CLAN, CHILDES, and TalkBank by working through the screen tutorials to be found at Those screencasts will give you a clearer view of the actual process of data entry and analysis and then you can refer to the following six chapters for explicit descriptions of the methods.

10 1. Chapter 1 explains how to install and configure CLAN. This process has different steps, depending on whether you are using Windows or Mac OS X. 2. Chapter 2 explains how to access and use materials from the CHILDES and TalkBank homepages on the web. 3. Chapter 3 provides a tutorial on how to begin using CLAN commands. 4. Chapter 4 explains how to use the editor. 5. Chapter 5 explains how to link transcripts to media. 6. Chapter 6 provides advanced exercises for learning CLAN. Ideally, you should work through all six chapters in that order. However, some users may wish to skip some sections. If you are not interested in transcribing new data, you can skip chapters 4 and 5 on the editor and linkage. People working with CA (Conversation Analysis) will probably not need to read chapter 3 on CLAN commands. The examples and analyses all focus on child language data. People working with other language types part 2: CLAN 9 such as aphasia, adult conversation, or second language may wish to use practice the exercises with CHAT files and media appropriate to those areas.
