How idiosyncratic are 2-3 year olds' vocabularies?

[Elena Nicoladis]

Dear colleagues,
I'm trying to find some sort of quantification of how idiosyncratic
children aged 2-3 years are in terms of vocabulary. Has anyone, for
example, attempted something as foolhardy as calculating the average
percentage of words shared by all/most/some preschoolers??

Any leads would be much appreciated.

"Since all the sciences, and especially psychology, are still immersed in
such tremendous realms of the uncertain and the unknown, the best that any
individual scientist, especially any psychologist, can do seems to be to
follow his own gleam and his own bent, however inadequate they may be. In
fact, I suppose that actually this is what we all do. In the end, the only
sure criterion is to have fun."
