Admittedly it's only one pair, but there should be lots of data somewhere about<BR>
whether and when kids acquire both members of the sofa/couch synonym pair<BR>
from the MacArthur CDI. <BR>

Dear Teresa,<BR>
<BR>
I think your question is asking not about cross-language synonyms (or translation equivalents), but about synonyms within a single language. Is that right?<BR>
<BR>
I believe Ginny Gathercole in the mid-1990s had at least a presentation (at the child language symposium at Stanford) and perhaps a paper that was written in response to Eve Clark's claim that the principle of contrast kept children from accepting synonyms. Perhaps you could look those up, or maybe Ginny will weigh in here, too, with her own and other references.<BR>
<BR>
Ciao,<BR>
Barbara<BR>
