This chapter reviews evidence on how infants up to 18 months of age
develop the ability to use prosody as a sign of the expression of
pragmatic meanings, from both a comprehension and a production point
of view. Developmental research reveals that pre-lexical infants use
prosodic information not only to comprehend emotions in the speech
of their communicative partners, the intentional value of the
partners’ speech, and their speech act motivation, but also to
express these same pragmatic meanings when they communicate with
others. In essence, before the emergence of lexical and grammatical
skills, infants use prosody to communicate intentionally with the
world around them.
