Picture books, stimuli for story-telling and language documentation

This set of 9 picture books was created so that speakers could use the picture prompts to tell stories. The speakers can speak in their own styles, and interact with others, e.g. children, or speak on their own. They have been used to gather language documentation data in several Aboriginal languages in Australia. Three of the picture books are designed so that the speakers will produce overt subject and object references while telling the stories, so that they can be used to analyse word order and core argument marking, among other phenomena.
