...is the repetition of vocalizations made by another person.
Delayed echolalia has been defined as the "echoing of a phrase after some delay or lapse of time". Persons with autism who repeat TV commercials, favorite movie scripts, or parental reprimands are examples used in describing this phenomenon. It may or may not be communicative.
Brogan expands on the general base of repeating not only vocalizations of other people, but sounds they make (he cannot snap his fingers, so he makes the motion with his hands and imitates the sound with his tongue). He can also very accurately repeat any animal vocalizations and vehicle sounds.
