Research Article Vilém Uhlíř* Theoretical and Evolutionary Biology, Department of Philosophy and History of Sciences. Charles University. Viničná 7, 12843 Praha 2, Czech Republic Received ???, 2018; Accepted ???, 2018 Abstract: This paper offers a brief critical review of some of the so-called “Talking Animals” projects. The findings from the projects are compared with linguistic data from Homo sapiens and with newer evidence gleaned from experiments on animal syntactic skills. The question concerning what had the so-called “Talking Animals” really done is broken down into two categories – words and (recursive) syntax. The (relative) failure of the animal projects in both categories points mainly to the fact that the core feature of language – hierarchical recursive syntax – is missing in the pseudo-linguistic feats of the animals.

The “Talking Animals” Projects For the sake of brevity, I offer a greatly selective review of some of the more important “Talking Animals” projects. Please note that many omissions were necessary for reasons of space. The “thought climate” of the 1960s and 1970s was formed largely by the Skinnerian zeitgeist, in which it seemed possible to teach any animal to master any, or almost any, skill, including language. Perhaps riding on an ideological wave, following the surprising claims of Fossey [1] and Goodall [2] concerning primates, as well as the claims of Lilly [3] and Batteau and Markey [4] concerning dolphins, many scientists and researchers focussed on the continuities between humans and other species, while largely ignoring the discontinuities and differences.

  • The History and Status of Cognitive Research with Great Apes in the United States
    The Japanese Journal of Animal Psychology (2018) Lecture The history and status of cognitive research with great apes in the United States ROBERT W. SHUMAKER１）２）３） Abstract Cognitive research in the United States spans approximately 100 years. Most studies have occurred in primate centers, fewer at universities, and for a brief period, in home-based projects focused on enculturation. Historically, great apes living in zoos have been under represented. A shift has occurred that affects the future of the field. Studies at primate centers have significantly decreased, all university based projects have ended, and work in zoos is increasing. The Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center at the Indianapolis Zoo provides an example of one stable, longitudinally based project. The primary areas of study at the Center are symbolic representation, numerical competency, social learning, memory, and strategic reasoning. All data collection sessions are conducted with visitors present. Cognitive studies in a zoo environment promote great ape welfare, offer a platform for transformational public education, and provide an effective means to advance support for in situ conservation of great apes.

Many theories on the origins of language begin with two basic premises concerning the vocal behavior of nonhuman pri- mates, especially the great apes. They assume that (1) apes (and other primates) can exercise only negligible volitional control over the production of sound with their vocal tract, and (2) they are unable to learn novel vocal behaviors beyond their species-typical repertoire (e.g., Arbib et al.

  • Non-Human Primates and Language: Paper
    Non-human primates and language: paper http://www.angelfire.com/sc2/nhplanguage/ftpaper.html Language competence in NHPs An assessment of the field in the light of a 'universal grammar' "The Berlin wall is down, and so is the wall that separates man from chimpanzee." (Elizabeth Bates) "There is no debate, so I have no opinion." (Noam Chomsky) 0 Introduction The language competence of non-human primates is one of the most controversial issues in present-day linguistics, with disbelief ranging from bored indifference to vitriolic accusations of fraud. The present paper aims to assess the current state of debate from an open-minded, critical and detached perspective. In a first part, a brief outline of earlier research in the language abilities of non-human primates - more precisely of apes (bonobos, urang-utangs, chimpanzees and gorillas) - is sketched. The second part focusses on the landmark studies published by Dr. Emily Sue Savage-Rumbaugh and her colleagues. A third section looks into the views of the Chomskyan field, leading up to the concluding section on the innateness debate. 1 Early research on non-human primates' capability for language 1.1 Attempts to teach NHPs to speak The language capability of non-human primates has been a subject of research since the beginning of this century. In 1909 already did Witmer attempt to teach a chimpanzee to talk. He claims that the chimpanzee was capable of articulating the word ‘mama’. In 1916 Furness taught an orang-utan to say the words ‘papa’ and ‘cup’. After the unexpected death of this orang-utan, Kellogg and Kellogg wanted to follow up this work.

    Behavior Research Methods & Instrumentation 1978, Vol. 10 (2), 119~131 SESSION I OPENING REMARKS Welcoming Remarks: DORIS AARONSON, New York University GEOFFREY LOFTUS, Universityof Washington Announcements: JAMES HOWARD, Catholic University SESSION II INVITED ADDRESSES PETER G. POLSON, University ofColorado, Presider Chimpanzee language research: Status and potential DUANE M. RUMBAUGH and SUE SAVAGE-RUMBAUGH GeorgiaState University, Atlanta, Georgia 30303 and Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center, Emory University, A tlanta, Georgia 30322 The impact of ape-language research upon current thought pertaining to language and man in relationship to the apes is discussed within an evolutionary framework. Studies of apes can reveal certain requisites to the language skills of humans. Social adaptations are thought to be important to the evolution of those requisites. A review of ape..language research is made, with emphasis given to the problems of controls where work is done en face with the subjects, as where Ameslan (signing) is the system employed. The need for careful definition of what is a "word," and the need for tracing through experience how responses come to acquire meaning, hence "wordness," is emphasized. Levels of wordness are discussed which emerge initially from basic operants and performatives. Evidence is reported in support of the conclu­ sion that it is through direct experience, through the pragmatic application and use of instru­ ments, and through important social relationships that word learning is facilitated. Finally, it is noted that an important step of validation in our own work is in the successful application of methods emanating therefrom to work with mentally retarded children. Man's egocentric view that he is distinctively unique monkey's innovations of washing sand from potatoes from all other forms of animal life is being jarred and of using tidal pools to separate, by flotation, wheat to the core by research reports of this decade.

    Burling : The Talking Ape 01-Burling-chap01 Page Proof page 111.3.2005 6:38pm 1 In the beginning Few topics about which scholars have puzzled can be quite so intri- guing and so tantalizing, but at the same time so frustrating, as the evolution of the human capacity for language. Nothing so decisively sets us apart from our primate cousins as our constant chatter. It is no exaggeration to credit language for the very humanity that distin- guishes us from the beasts from which we sprang. If we are even a tiny bit curious about our own origins, we have to be curious about the origins of language. This is why it so frustrating to have no direct evidence for the lan- guage of our early ancestors. Fading as soon as it is uttered, spoken language leaves no trace. A few of our remote forebears left their bones in places where we could Wnd them, and as more and more of these bones have been moved to museums, we have gained a clearer under- standing of the several million years of evolution during which our bodies diverged from those of chimpanzees. The tools that early humans knocked from stones have survived in their thousands, and they tell us a good deal about early technology. But it was only after writing was invented, a mere Wve or six thousand years ago, that earlier languages could leave any trace. By then, the human capacity for spoken language had already had a very long history. Not even the earliest writing can tell us anything about the far more ancient periods when people Wrst began to talk.

DESCRIPTORS *Animal Behavior; *Cognitive Processes;*Language Acquisition; *Language Processing; Language Research; Learning Processes; Linguistic Theory;*Nonverbal Communication; Primatology; Sign Language;*Visual Stimuli ABSTRACT The debate over whether primates can betaught visual language is examined, and evidence of useof nonverbal language in primate studies is compared with the languagecriteria of a number of linguistic researchers. Background information onlanguage, visual language (including signjanguage), andthe parameters of the studies is offered, including oral and human languagecriteria, conception of grammar, and use of word symbols(chip symbology). The performance of four apes in different studies, usingdifferent methods to teach visual language, is then examined in termsof these parameters. It is concluded that the apes can mentallymanipulate abstract concepts that have been defined by means of anarbitrary code, and that this manipulation involves mentally scanning a setof symbols and cognitively selecting one on the basis of itsspecific linguistic context. Ape results proved to belinguistically coded and expressed, establishing true linguistic comprehensiveproduction.
