Productive vocabulary was measured every four months in 16- to 28-months-olds. Attainment of motor-milestones was also measured. An earlier age of sitting and walking predicted a higher intercept and a larger slope (growth) of productive vocabulary respectively, suggesting that attainment of walking propels linguistic development.
► We longitudinally model growth in productive vocabulary between age 16 and 28 months.
► We examine whether attainment of motor milestones predicts this growth.
► Earlier age of unsupported sitting predicts larger productive vocabulary.
► Earlier age of independent walking predicts faster rate of growth in productive vocabulary.
► Results support the notion of motor milestones propelling linguistic development.
