Describe prelinguistic communication
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
• Prelinguistic communication is communication through sounds, facial expressions, gestures, imitation, and other nonlinguistic means.
• It is an early form of communication, where parents may respond to infants' cooing and babbling with a repetition of these sounds. The repetition sets the stage for the give-and-take of conversation.
• The most common manifestation of prelinguistic communication is babbling, the speechlike but meaningless sounds, that start at the age of 2 or 3 months.
