| Sumario: | Attention has often been given to the complexity entailed by the task of learning verbs. Previous research has studied the information children use to infer verb meaning. The availability of different types of linguistic information is subject to the typological characteristics of their language but also to their frequency in the input. Toba/qom (Guaycuruan) presents strategies to increase or reduce verb valency that indicate whether the event expressed by the verb is causative. In this study we have analysed some causative and antipassive operations in the input in toba/qom to three male children and one female child (M=1;9) from Chaco (Argentina). Examples from a corpus of spontaneous speech were provided (Rosemberg et al., 2015-2016). In addition, we have studied the frequency of these mechanisms in the input. The examples showed that these mechanisms provide useful evidence to interpret verb semantics. Moreover, they occur with a diversity of verb roots and in the input to all of the children. However, the frequency of the analysed suffixes in the input is low (less than 5%), specially in child-directed speech. |
