Abstract (2. Language): 
This study is part of the research aiming to describe Turkish speaking children's early lexicon in terms of noun-verb dominance and the (in)frequency effects of caregiver speech on children's productive vocabulary. The objectives of the study can be grouped into two: to show the quantity of noun-verb categories produced by children around 12-24 months of age and their caregivers and also to find out whether there is a parallelism between these two groups.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkçe yi anadili olarak edinen çocukların sözcük dağarcıklarında adların mı yoksa eylemlerin mi daha baskın olduğunu ve bu baskınlığın nedeninin annenin dil kullanım sıklığına bağlı olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla, 12-24 ay arası beş kız çocuğundan ve annelerinden veri toplanmış ve anne ve çocuğun ad ve eylem kullanımları arasında paralellik olup olmadığına bakılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda annelerin konuşmalarında daha çok eylemleri yeğledikleri ve çocukların da birinci Ortalama Sözce Uzunluğu aşamasını geçer geçmez konuşmalarının daha çok eylem odaklı olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuçlar, çocukların bu tercihlerinde hem annelerin konuşmalarının hem de Türkçe'nin yapısal özelliklerinin etkili olduğunu düşündürmektedir.
