Abstract： Language is an indispensable communication tool for human beings, and language ability is an essential skill that children must acquire in their development. Oriented to the language disorders in Chinese-speaking children, an evaluation system has been developed by the Neurolinguistics teaching laboratory at Sun Yat-sen University to measure Chinese children’s speech communication ability and screen language-related disabilities. Using a fixed procedure as a guide, the system can collect children’s speech communication data in a very short time. Based on this evaluation paradigm, a speech corpus of Chinese-speaking children for language disorder screening was established, and up to now data of 996 children aged between 2-14 have been collected. The data are evaluated from six linguistic aspects (including phonology, productivity, fluency, grammar, semantics, and logic) with 16 indicators recognized by both manual annotation and machine recognition. Currently, the data of 638 Chinese-speaking children have been processed and annotated. Such a corpus can offer an affluent training set for automatic screening of children’s language disorders, and provide resource for studies on language acquisition and language disorders.
