The way you communicate before you have developed a vocabulary and the ability to speak and write. It would include facial expressions, vocal utterances, body language, etc...

An example would be when I am sitting in a group of people and I look at you and I raise my hand. I am pre-verbally indicating that I have something to say. And by looking back at me before you acknowledge my request, I can confirm that you are about to call my name.

Suggest you read up on the work of Lock who suggested specific phases that a child goes through before learning to verbalise

tears, shrieks, grunts,
body positions that are effective.
Eventually most people learn to speak and use words and effective language to get their point across. There are some that never do. We call them mute. But there are ways to be communicatiing. Some use sign lang.

Not to sound like a professional, but by taking apart the words, I think it means "speech before language." I think, specifically, it refers to babies crying, etc.

Body language, facial expressions.
Someone telling you something without actually verbalising it
