The aim of the present study was to analyze the influence of caregivers' verbal production on the lexical production of infants (30 to 48 months), through a joint reading task. Method: 249 dyads (caregiver-infant) participated and the units of analysis type (number of different words produced without repetition) and token (total number of words produced) were used. Statistically significant correlations were observed in all grammatical categories produced by the dyads, as well as the effect of the caregiver's verbal production on that of the infant. The results highlight the importance and influence of caregivers on children's verbal production, with adults' verbal production being a significant predictor of the language development of infants between three and four years of age when interacting in joint reading contexts.
