word production and comprehension

[r.n.campbell]

I collected some funny data in the 80s showing semantic discrepancy
between production and comprehension. Not what you're looking for,
but it suggests independent acquisition processes (and separate
lexical representations, at least initially).

See Campbell, Macdonald & Dockrell, pp. 141-150 in Lowenthal, F., F.
Vandamme & J. Cordier (eds.) Language and Language Acquisition,
Plenum Press 1982.

It's very badly published, even for me,  so I've added it to my webpage.
