This study examined early Hebrew verb acquisition, highlighting CDS-CS relations across inflectional and derivational verb learning. It was carried out on a corpus of longitudinal dense dyadic interactions of two Hebrew-speaking toddlers aged 1;8-2;2 and their parents. Findings revealed correlated patterns within and between CDS and CS corpora in terms of verbs, structural root categories, and their components (roots, binyan conjugations, and derivational verb families), and clear relations between lexical-derivational development and inflectional growth in input-output relations, measured by MSP. It also showed that both corpora had few, yet highly semantically coherent, derivational families. Lexical learning in Hebrew was shown to be morphologically oriented, with both inflectional and derivational learning supporting and being supported by the development of the verb lexicon. These findings support findings in the general literature regarding the close relationship between parental input and child speech, and the affinity between lexical and grammatical growth.
本研究考察了早期希伯来语动词习得，重点研究了曲折变化和派生动词学习中的 CDS-CS 关系。该研究基于两个希伯来语说话的 1 岁 8 个月至 2 岁 2 个月大的幼儿及其父母之间的纵向密集对偶互动的语料库进行。研究结果表明，在动词、结构词根类别及其组成部分（词根、词形变化和派生动词族）方面，CDS 和 CS 语料库内部和之间存在相关模式，并且在输入-输出关系中，词汇派生发展和曲折变化增长之间存在明显的关系，这一关系通过 MSP 进行了测量。此外，研究还表明，这两个语料库都只有少数但语义高度一致的派生动词族。希伯来语中的词汇学习呈现出形态学导向，曲折变化和派生学习都支持并受到动词词汇发展的支持。这些发现支持了一般文献中关于父母输入和儿童言语之间密切关系以及词汇和语法增长之间亲和力的发现。
