Early Lexical Development: The Contribution of Parental Labelling and Infants' Categorization Abilities.
Poulin-Dubois, Diane; And Others
Journal of Child Language, v22 n2 p325-43 Jun 1995
In this longitudinal study, changes in parental labelling and infants' categorization skills were examined as potential predictors of vocabulary acquisition, the age of the naming explosion, and the acquisition of subordinate labels. Findings suggest that the influence of each factor varies as a function of the stage and aspect of lexical development considered. (JL)
