The studies in Weaving a Lexicon make a significant contribution to the growing fieldof lexical acquisition by considering the multidimensional way in which infants and children acquirethe lexicon of their native language. They examine the many strands of knowledge and skill --including perceptual sensitivities, conceptual and semantic constraints, and communicative intent --that children must weave together in the process of word learning, and show the different mix ofthese factors used at different developmental points. In considering the many different factors atwork, the contributors avoid both the "either-or" approach, which singles out one strand to explainword learning throughout childhood, and the "all-inclusive" approach, which considers the melange offactors together. Their goal is to discover precisely which strands of ability or understanding makewhich contributions to acquisition at which points in infancy and childhood.The nineteen chaptersare arranged in two broadly thematic sections. The chapters in "Initial Acquisitions," focus onissues involved in word learning during infancy, including how learners represent the sound patternsof words, infants' use of action knowledge to understand the meaning of words, and the links betweenearly word learning and conceptual organization. In "Later Acquisitions," the chapters treat topicsconcerning the stages of toddler and preschooler language acquisition, including part-of- speechinformation in word learning, the proper-count distinction, and a comparison of verb acquisition inEnglish and Spanish. Because the contributors present their work in the broader context of theinterconnection of different processes in lexical acquisition, the chapters in Weaving a Lexiconshould suggest new directions for research in the field.
