Lowman, Joneen; Stone, Laura T.; Guo, Jing – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2018

Previous investigations of word learning have typically consisted of novel words for which synonyms exist. It is argued that the acquisition of unfamiliar words that refer to existing concepts that already have labels is not…
