Summary/Abstract: This article discusses early Bulgarian language ontogenesis. The pilot corpus study fo-cuses on the extraction, analysis and systematisation of data representative of the ear-liest evidence of the emergence of word classes in the process of children’s language acquisition. While the discussion and conclusions follow the paradigm of the Theory of natural morphology, a crucial prerequisite for their appropriate validation is provided by the empirically-based CHILDES Bulgarian LabLing Corpus (https://childes.talkbank. org/access/Slavic/Bulgarian/LabLing.html), the first Bulgarian child speech corpus developed as part of the Slavic collection of the interactive plat-form CHILDES.
