Fig. 2 — Nature of the conversational turns provided by the child during a spontaneous conversation with a peer. Empty turns: the child provided no answer at all, ignoring her interlocutor and focusing on the objects she was playing with. Non-verbal turns: the child produced a gestural action in response to her interlocutor's request. Paralinguistic: the child tried to take the turn but was only able to produce fillers, such as non-verbal vocalizations. Holophrastic: the child generated single-word responses.
