MacWhinney, B. (1989). Competition and Lexical Categorization. In R. Corrigan, F. Eckman, & M. Noonan (Eds.), pp. 195-242. Linguistic categorization. New York: Benjamins. A statement of the ways in which lexical competition can give rise to a variety of semantic effects, including Mutual Exclusivity, semiotic extension, and overgeneralization.

MacWhinney, B. (1988). Competition and Teachability. In R. Schiefelbusch & M. Rice (Eds.), The teachability of language. pp. 63-104. New York: Cambridge University Press.

This is out of date now in terms of references to recent literature and connectionist modelling, but the basic claims are still germane.
