How can parents communicate with their infants before the infants learn to talk? Even adult-adult communication requires effort. We communicate using verbal clues as well as cultural-historical preverbal ones.Nevertheless we can still end up misunderstanding each other. It is even more difficult to communicate if the partner in communication is a pre-verbal infant who does not speak and use common gestures yet. Carefully observing communication between parents and their infants reveals that parents keep talking to their infants usingParent Proxy Talk. Not only were they talking to their infants from their own perspectives, but they were also talking as a proxy, using their infants' voices. The videotaped verbal and nonverbal mother-infant interactions were analyzed and revealed four types of Parental Proxy Talk; (1) from the child's view, (2) from the views of both the mother and child, (3) from an ambiguous view, and (4) from a transitional view. It was discussed about a process of enculturation by focusing on Parental Proxy Talk.
