%X in this study we examine the proportion of nouns and verbs in caretaker speech and children£¿s early lexicon in spanish. we calculated noun and verb frequencies in 3 children£¿s and their caretaker£¿s spontaneous speech samples. caretakers produced more verbs when interacting with the children at all three ages. children produced more nouns in the first sample; more verbs in the secondsample; and, in the third sample, individual variations were observed.noun-bias observed at the initial stages seems to be independent of the input. variations in later samples could be related to the particularities of spanish, speakers£¿ individual differences, or certain characteristics of the input, among other factors.
