Answer:

overextension

Explanation:

Overextension is an error in early stages of language development, in which a child usually applies the same word to label different things, usually as a result of lack of vocabulary. For example, a child may use the word <em>daddy</em> to refer to all men, or <em>dog </em>to name all kinds of animals. Overextension diminishes with time as children receive corrective feedback and increase their lexicon.
