inquiry kn vocab size

[keith nelson]

Hello.  Wondering if anyone has a good handle on recent and
not-so-recent studies giving estimates of total vocabulary size in
children of varied ages and adults, including possibly data linking
standardized vocabulary test scores or language sample vocabulary to
estimates of total likely vocabulary.  Thanks for any assistance.

And what is mind
and how is it recognized ?
It is clearly drawn
in sumi ink, the sound
of breezes drifting through pine.
