What will be an ideal response?
Prelinguistic language represents the infant's attempt to communicate through
vocalization, gestures and body movements. In this stage, the infant cannot produce
language, but can comprehend it. In terms of linguistic language, the child begins to
learn how to pronounce words and word segments (phonology) and understands the
general rules of grammar; typically assessed via morphology and syntax. Finally,
children gradually learn the social side of language, such as turn taking, a competency
referred to as pragmatics.
