It is agreed that corpus linguistics has already become the mainstream of language studies. However, studies based on Chinese corpora are rarely seen in China, and college teachers of Chinese and English have not been fully aware of the necessity and importance of introducing corpus study into class teaching. This paper gives a concise and systematic introduction of the Hong Kong Cantonese Child Language Corpus Project (Cancorp), including principles of corpus building, background of child subjects, highlights of findings and corpus versions. We hope that it will be beneficial to the future corpus linguistics in China.
