Dear Teresa,
I think your question is asking not about cross-language synonyms (or
translation equivalents), but about synonyms within a single language.
Is that right?
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.
Ciao,
Barbara
