What is a Holophrase?

Holophrase may be a single word that expresses a posh idea, used mainly by young children once they are learning to speak, to convey an intention like that of the adult expression it derives.
A holophrase takes the place of what would be a full sentence in an older person's speech.
Some examples of holophrase are- the child may say "go" to mean "I want to leave now," or "mine" to say "This is my toy and I don't want you to play with it."
