The first words produced by children in bilingual environments where English and Mandarin Chinese are spoken were investigated. The goal was to determine if verbs would appear in the children's early productions, which would be consistent with the findings for the first words produced by children in monolingual Mandarin Chinese environments. A greater number of nouns than verbs were produced as children's first words in both English and Mandarin Chinese. Although nouns were produced in both English and Chinese, verbs were produced only in Mandarin Chinese.
