Below is a summary list
of the syntactic categories used in coding the corpus.
Except for the children's names, the romanizations are
based on the Cantonese romanization scheme of the
Linguistic Society of Hong Kong (LSHK) (see the
Linguistic Society of Hong Kong's "Guide to LSHK
Cantonese Romanization of Chinese Characters" ¸f»y«÷µ¦rªí
[LSHK 1997], or the Society's
homepage at http://www.hku.hk/linguist/lshk/).
