childeswordfreq: Word Frequency Extraction and Summarization

Provides tools to extract word frequencies from the CHILDES (Child Language Data Exchange System) corpus. The main function allows users to input a list of words and receive speaker-role-specific frequency counts and a summary of the dataset. The output includes Excel-formatted tables of word counts and metadata summaries such as number of speakers, transcripts, children, and token counts. Useful for researchers studying early language acquisition, corpus linguistics, and speaker role variation. The CHILDES database is maintained at <https://childes.talkbank.org/>.
