How idiosyncratic are 2-3 year olds' vocabularies?

[Miguel Pérez Pereira]

Dear Elena,
Anne Peters studied the use of idiosyncratic terms by one blind child (Seth). She found that  Seth invented quite a number of idiosyncratic words (20 words) between 15 and 19 months of age. Since this information comes from Ann's personal communication, you may ask her to give you detailed information. 
Best regards

In fact, I suppose that actually this is what we all do. In the end, the only sure criterion is to have fun."
