Ontological Categories and Function: Acquisition of New Names.
Gathercole, Virginia C. Mueller; And Others
Cognitive Development, v10 n2 p225-51 Apr-Jun 1995
Examines whether knowledge of functional properties of a referent for a new name influences children's first guesses about whether that name refers to an object or a substance. Suggests that children do not rely on a single source of information, but rather draw on various kind of information, including perceptual characteristics of the entities and the syntax of the input.
