Dear all,

Does anyone know of any recent studies on child malapropisms? I found these two on speech errors in general that mention malapropisms, both from the 80's:
Vihman, M. M. (1981). "Phonology and the development of the lexicon:  Evidence from children's errors." Journal of Child Language 8: 239-264.
Elbers, L. (1985). "A tip-of-the-tongue experience at age two?" Journal of Child Language 12: 353-365.

Thank you!
