reverse mutual exclusivity?

[Roberta Golinkoff]

here are a couple of relevant resources:

Au, T. & Glusman, M. (1990). The principle of mutual exclusivity in 
word learning: to honor or not to honor? Child Development, 61, 
1474-1490.

Mervis, C. B., Golinkoff, R. M., & Bertrand, J. (1994). Two-year-olds 
readily learn multiple labels
for the same basic level category. Child Development, 65, 971-991.

Blewitt, P., Golinkoff, R. M., & Alioto, A. (2000). Do toddlers have 
label preferences? A possible
explanation for word refusals. First Language, 20, 253-272.

Hope these are helpful to you!
Best, Roberta Golinkoff
