Morphology
nonlinguistic = linguistic (transparent) = non + linguistic
The meaning 'not related to language' is the straightforward negative of 'linguistic' formed by the productive prefix 'non-'.
Etymology
The word nonlinguistic is made of non- meaning 'not' and linguistic from language, so it means 'not related to language'. That is why it is used for things like gestures, pictures, or facial expressions that communicate without words.
