Despite considerable differences in the structures of the world's languages and child-rearing practices, children show remarkable cross-linguistic similarities in their early lexical development, including a preference for nouns.

We assess morphological complexity as a possible explanatory variable for children's higher noun-to-verb ratios and evaluate whet
