Abstract
This exploratory study identified the lexical overlap produced during play interactions of 61 primarily Spanish-speaking 2.5-year-old children with their mothers and fathers in the United States. Findings indicated similarities in the words and grammatical categories that fathers and children used compared to those used by mothers and children.
