“…For example, by 14 months, infants use the linguistic form of a novel word as a cue to its meaning (Waxman, 1999;Waxman & Booth, 2001;Echols & Marti, 2004), and by 18 months, infants use the syntactic structure of a sentence to distinguish among candidate meanings for a novel verb (Naigles, 1990(Naigles, , 1996Hirsh-Pasek & Golinkoff, 1996;Bunger & Lidz, 2004;Lidz, Bunger, Leddon, & Waxman, 2006;Fisher & Song, 2006). Thus, the question is not whether young word learners can recruit linguistic information, but rather whether they (like adults in the HSP task) rely more heavily on linguistic information to arrive at the meaning of novel verbs than novel nouns.…”
