Document Summary
Just as the term imperative (request, commands, ro demands for action) Infants produce vocal and gestural behaviors to signal for caregiver to retrieve an object of interest. Early vocal and gestural behaviors that appear to note an object for the purpose of gaining the caregivers" attention. The first words that are not real words appear. These words have been referred to as protowords, prelexical forms, sensorimotor. We will call them phonetically consistent forms (pcfs) Phonetically consistent forms (pcfs) morphemes or vocables . They are units and therefore consistent boundaries. They are reliably associated with an object, circumstance or situation. Even though they are not words, their phonetic composition is relative constant. Categories of infants" intentions expressed through characteristic patterns of gestures and vocalizations. Callings, greetings, requesting actions, protesting an action, repeating or participating. Psas express only one intention per utterance. The start or onset of psas are closely related with particular contexts.
