How communication is related to language We take for granted the role communication plays in our daily lives - from how we learn to how we interact socially. Both professionals and parents know that early communication skills provide the foundation for development of later, more advanced skills and integration into the world of both play and work. However, communication does not depend on age alone, but on different abilities, physical development, and the accumulation of experiences. Infants communicate from the moment they are born - for example, crying when they are hungry, smiling when they are content. Thus communication involves more than just talking and the development of communication starts long before speech is established.
Receptive language refers to the input system of language.
It is the comprehension of information based on what we see and hear. Receptive language skills begin as early as birth and get stronger with each stage of development . Expressive language can be seen as the output system of language. The development of different sounds and combinations of sounds to form words enables knowledge to be expressed and shared with others. We cannot discuss aspects of language without including the development of the many nonverbal ways one obtains and provides feedback.
