Meaning, intention, and inference in primate vocal communication
Two core questions in the study of speech evolution are whether nonhuman primate signals should be conceived as referential, and what the role of social cognition is in primate communication. Current evidence suggests that the structure of primate vocalizations is largely innate and related to the affective/motivational state of the caller, with a probabilistic and underdetermined relationship ...
متن کاملDifferent Approaches to Meaning in Primate Gestural and Vocal Communication
In searching for the roots of human language, comparative researchers investigate whether precursors to language are already present in our closest relatives, the nonhuman primates. As the majority of studies into primates’ communication use a unimodal approach with focus on one signal type only, researchers investigate very different aspects depending on whether they are interested in vocal, g...
متن کاملPrimate Vocal Communication
In 1871, Charles Darwin drew attention to a dichotomy in the vocal communication of animals that had perplexed philosophers and naturalists for at least 2,000 years. In marked contrast to human language, he wrote, animal vocalizations appeared to be involuntary expressions of emotion and movement: ‘‘When the sensorium is strongly excited, the muscles of the body are generally thrown into violen...
متن کاملContext modulates signal meaning in primate communication.
A central issue in the evolution of social complexity and the evolution of communication concerns the capacity to communicate about increasingly abstract objects and concepts. Many animals can communicate about immediate behavior, but to date, none have been reported to communicate about behavior during future interactions. In this study, we show that a special, unidirectional, cost-free domina...
متن کاملThe neurobiology of primate vocal communication.
Recent investigations of non-human primate communication revealed vocal behaviors far more complex than previously appreciated. Understanding the neural basis of these communicative behaviors is important as it has the potential to reveal the basic underpinnings of the still more complex human speech. The latest work revealed vocalization-sensitive regions both within and beyond the traditional...
