Abstract
Learning a new word appears simple. One must learn the phonological form of the
word (the word-form), the concept to which it refers, and an association between
them. However, individually these are not trivial problems. Most concepts require
integrating multiple perceptual and semantic features. Similarly, determining a novel
word’s referent is challenging since a novel word could refer to anything present or
implied in the discourse context, its properties, or the speakers’ intentions.
