childPoe: A corpus of German Children's Poems for Computational and Experimental Studies

The childPoe corpus is a collection of 1082 German children's poems created within the CHYLSA project. The poems were taken from anthologies published between 1991 and 2019. This publication includes the poem-level metadata for each poem with information about the author, the poem's length, data on case, punctuation, layout, rhyme, onomatopoeia, sonority, type-token ratio and lexical density. Furthermore, it includes the Python script which was used to extract some of the metadata from the texts (poemtool.py). If you are interested in the poems' texts or in additional word-level metadata (including data on word length, lemma and part-of-speech), please contact one of the authors.
