Abstract
Some word-finding problems (recorded on tape) of a Dutch two-year-old are reported. The child's attempts at retrieving a certain target form show many characteristics which are typical for ‘tip-of-the-tongue’ experiences. During his lexical search the child produces malapropisms and a blend. The speech errors are analysed, and implications for the character of early lexical organization and the order of lexical form/meaning acquisition are discussed.Keywords
