2 million words per year” As their knowledge expands and becomes better organized (see Chapter 7), older school-age children think about and use words more precisely: In addition to the verb fall, for example, they also use topple, tumble, and plummet (Berman, 2007). Word definitions also illustrate this change. Five- and 6-year-olds offer concrete descriptions referring to functions or appearance—knife: ” when you’re cutting carrots”; bicycle: ” it’s got wheels, a chain, and handlebars.” By the end of elementary school, synonyms and explanations of categorical relationships appear—knife: ” Something you could cut with. A saw is like a knife. It could also be a “

syntactic bootstrapping” Consider an adult who says, ” This is a citron one,” while showing a child a yellow car. Two- and 3-year-olds conclude that a new word used as an adjective for a familiar object (car) refers to a property of that object (Hall & Graham, 1999; Imai & Haryu, 2004). As preschoolers hear the word in various sentence structures (” That lemon is bright citron”), they use __________ to refine the word’s meaning and generalize it to other categories.”

” pher language. Children draw on a coalition of cues—perceptual, social, and linguistic—that shift in importance with age” coalition model” Emergentist coalition model of word-learning strategies. Children draw on a coalition of cues—perceptual, social, and linguistic—to infer word meanings. With age, these cues shift in importance. Infants rely solely on perceptual cues. While remaining sensitive to perceptual features, toddlers increasingly attend to social cues.

x position” Only gradually do preschoolers refine and gen- eralize their early grammatical forms. In a number of investigations, English-learning children were tested for their ability to produce novel sentences that conformed to basic English syntax. They had to use a new verb in the subject-verb-object form after hearing it in a different construction, such as passive (” Ernie is getting gorped by the dog”). The percentage of children who performed well (when asked what the dog was doing, they responded, ” He’s gorping Ernie”) rose steadily with”
