Lexical acquisition in Salish

Hi all,

The Salishan languages are known to lack distinction between nouns and
verbs. I'm interested in whether there's systematic research on the
acquisition of lexical items in these languages, particularly, whether
their children also display a certain amount of "noun advantage". I don't
seem to be able to locate any developmental papers on these languages, so
if you know of any I'd really appreciate it if you could point me to them.
