and in order to develop my stimuli properly, I need to know what verbs are<br>learned early in these languages. I have a copy of the MacArthur-Bates CDI<br>for English but have been unsuccessful at obtaining a copy of the Arabic<br>
CDI.<br> <br>Does anyone have a copy of the Arabic CDI and could share with me the<br>verbs/action words section? Or could anyone point me to research looking<br>at early verb learning in Arabic that could help me develop my own list of<br>
early-learned verbs in Arabic?<br> <br>Thanks so much for any suggestions,<br> <br>Nitya Sethuraman<br> <br>Assistant Professor<br>Behavioral Sciences-Psychology<br>University of Michigan-Dearborn<br>
