Q In thinking about infant language development, how do language games played with caregivers during the first year help facilitate language development? Joint actions are routine activities that provide a structure for predictable and pleasurable communication experiences.

In addition describe what actions can be taken by the adult during the game to help maximize language learning. What do these pre-verbal interactions share with later conversation?
