Linking early word learning and conceptual development: "Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought"
 

Résumé :

Infants naturally form categories to capture commonalities among objects and learn words to express them. These two essentially human abilities -- object categorization and object naming ­ are not independent. I consider the origins and unfolding of the relation between object categorization and naming across development and across languages. I propose that 1) infants bring to the task of word-learning a broad, universal expectation linking novel words to commonalities among objects, and that 2) this initial expectation is subsequently fine-tuned on the basis of infants' experience with the native language under acquisition. Throughout development, naming is a powerful engine for conceptual development : words advance us beyond our initial groupings, fueling the acquisition of the essential, rich relations that characterize our most powerful concepts.
