Abstract(in English) In the field of child language development, it is important to address an issue of what types of vocabularies toddlers aged at 0-2 years tend to acquire during earlier stages of lexical development. The present study used large-scale cross-sectional data on vocabulary checklists to examine the developmental changes in Japanese vocabulary composition. Results showed that Japanese-acquiring toddlers tend to acquire more social words within the first 50 words, and to increase common nouns and predicates after 50-word acquisition. Further analysis also showed the seesaw-like changes of common nouns and predicates after 200-word acquisition. These findings are discussed in light of the developmental characteristics of Japanese children and the underlying mechanism of word learning.
