Animal communication
|
Their communication is often called signs that are general or global statements about the animal’s current state. Unlike humans who use displacement when communicating, animals can only sign in the present tense. Honeybees do the same complex, waggling sort of dance to tell their fellow hive mates where to find pollen as well as the quality of the pollen in the location. On the other hand, chimpanzees communicate in the wild though a number of vocalizations as well hand gestures ad facial expressions.

do animals have a language?
|
Animals, however, do not have a language as a language requires structure, it must be semantic, there must be displacement, it is usually productive, and it is made up of grammar, phonemes, and morphemes. Animal communication is nowhere near as complex as that of humans and, likewise, has no specific language

conditioning
|
Kanzi learned how to communicate through a language using a computer keyboard. At the Language Research Center near Atlanta, Kanzi was adopted by another female bonobo that either was uninterested in using the keyboard or could not do so. A few months later, the researchers realized that Kanzi, who had accompanied his mother to lessons, was slowly learning keyboard symbols and spoken English on his own without the formal training given to other Bonobos, similar to the way that children pick up language. The researchers decided to continue his naturalistic education by expanding his horizons and taking him around the center grounds and encouraging social interaction. Kanzi understands spoken English and knows more than 200 keyboard symbols. He has used the keyboard to make requests, comment on his surroundings, state his intentions, and occasionally he will use it to tell his researchers what he is thinking about. One time he told his trainer that there was a fight between two apes in a way that involved putting together symbols in a complicated combination in a way that he had never done before.
