Lexical Growth Patterns in a Bilingual Infant: The Occurrence and Significance of Equivalents in the Bilingual Lexicon.
Lanvers, Ursula
International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, v2 n1 p30-52 1999
Gives a detailed account of the lexical growth in a bilingual child (German and English) and discusses its theoretical implications. Evaluating the principle of contrast in bilingual acquisition, concludes that evidence of lexical-equivalent learning and usage of equivalents can contribute to the debate on language separation in bilingual infants.
