  • One Path Or Two? Using Grammatical Class
    171 Chapter 7 Although human language is thought to be at least 200 000 years old (Mithen, 2005), precisely when and how it emerged remain largely a mystery. Unlike other human achievements such as the use of tools, there is no archaeological trail to follow; instead, the evolution of language can only be inferred (Olsen, 1998). As a result, contemporary theories of language evolution range from proto-speech (Steklis & Raleigh, 1979) through to proto-sign models (Zlatev, 2008). Although it remains a process of educated guesswork, it has traditionally been informed through studies of modern infant language acquisition (Young, Merin, Rogers & Ozonoff, 2009) or animal communication systems (Bonatti, Peña, Nespor & Mehler, 2005). More recently, the development of neuroimaging technologies such as MEG and fMRI has allowed a vastly improved understanding of how the modern human brain functions, while concurrent advances in computing and analysis techniques have allowed older technologies such as EEG to enjoy a research renaissance (e.g. Klimesch, 2011, 2012; Nyström, Ljunghammar, Rosander & von Hofsten, 2011; Sauseng, Klimesch, Schabus & Doppelmayr, 2005). Despite these advancements, there is still a lack of agreement on both when and how human language evolved. To this end, the purpose of the current thesis was to examine grammatical class processing (nouns versus verbs) in mature language speakers. By comparing the one and two path models of such processing, it was proposed that results could be interpreted within an evolutionary context, providing support (albeit inferential) for either the protosign/protospeech or the mixed model (coevolution) of language. This specific feature or function of language processing was chosen for a number of reasons: (1) It is unlikely that language emerged as a complete system; that is, it is improbable that the first thing ever uttered by an early human was along the lines of “Hey guess what? I can talk!!”.

PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Reports Evaluative /Feasibility (142) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. 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. Despite the fact that the ape linguistic abilities werefar below the level of adult communication,

  • Ape Behavior OVERVIEW Ape Behavior Is Advanced and Complex
    Section 4 — Ape Behavior OVERVIEW Ape behavior is advanced and complex. Social strategies differ, from the semi-solitary orangutans, to chimpanzees living in loose groups of up to 100 individuals. One commonality is the bond between mother and infant. Ape diets are primarily based on fruits and plants, with insects and small vertebrates often supplementing. Locomotion patterns differ: the African great apes are known for knuckle-walking, Thinking Ahead while the Asian apes spend more time in the trees. The gibbons are brachiators, and the orangutans, with their massive bodies, are slow, suspensory climbers. Communication is important to ape societies, and In order to begin the process of connecting physical phenomena with behavioral phenomena, discuss the following vocalizations, facial expressions, gestures, and body language are all essential. With enhanced cognitive with your students: capacity, apes have been identified as tool users both in the wild and in captivity. How might an ape’s physical characteristics relate to its behavior? Ape behavior is distinctly advanced and complex. While there are some general trends, behavior is an area where many of the Consider, for example, the shape of an ape’s teeth, its body shape, differences among the apes can be found. and the size of its brain. Social Strategies The apes tend towards different social strategies. This may relate to food availability, habitat structure, or other factors. One commonality between all species of apes is the bond between mother and infant. This bond is strong, with great maternal investment, and lasts long through the slow maturation period. Fusion-fission Bonobos and chimpanzees follow the fusion-fission social pattern.

  • Chimpanzee Signing: Darwinian Realities and Cartesian Delusions Roger S
    Chimpanzee signing: Darwinian Realities and Cartesian Delusions Roger S. Fouts, Mary Lee A. Jensvold and Deborah H. Fouts Darwinian Realities Truly discontinuous, all-or-non phenomena must be rare in nature. Historically, the great discontinuities have turned out to be conceptual barriers rather than natural phenomena. They have been passed by and abandoned rather than broken through in the course of scientific progress. The sign language studies in chimpanzees … have neither sought nor discovered a means of breathing humanity into the soul of a beast. They have assumed instead that there is no discontinuity between verbal behavior and the rest of human behavior or between human behavior and the rest of animal behavior -- no barrier to be broken, no chasm to be bridged, only unknown territory to be explored. (R. Gardner et al. 1989, p. xvii) Cross-fostering While chimpanzees have great difficulty adapting their vocalizations to human speech (Hayes and Hayes 1951; Hayes and Nissen 1971), chimpanzees can freely move their hands meaning that a gestural language is well suited to their abilities. R. A. and B.T. Gardner recognized this in their sign language studies with young chimpanzees. In 1966, the Gardners brought 10-month-old Washoe to the University of Nevada-Reno when they began their cross-fostering study. The Gardners described this approach as follows: Cross-fostering a chimpanzee is very different from keeping one in a home as a pet. Many people keep pets in their homes. They may treat their pets very well, and they may love them dearly, but they do not treat them like children.

  • Deafness and Orality: an Electronic Conversation
    Oral Tradition 8/2 (1993): 413-437 Deafness and Orality: An Electronic Conversation Introduction What follows is an edited digest of a wide-ranging conversation that took place on ORTRAD-L, the electronic discussion group sponsored by the Center for Studies in Oral Tradition, between February 4 and February 13, 1993. Like most such exchanges, it begins from a germ of an idea, an aside, or a question, and grows outward in many different directions, sometimes with a clearly sequential logic and sometimes with more of a summary or reprise texture. We present it here because of both its endemic interest for OT’s readership and its mimetic illustration of a new mode of verbal exchange and performance—neither “oral” nor “written,” precisely. Should this feature prove worthwhile, we may well present other “threads” from ORTRAD-L in the future. To subscribe to the discussion, send the following e-mail message to [email protected], with no subject line: sub ORTRAD-L your name. First and last name are required for your subscription to be processed. Margaret Steiner: Here’s another wrinkle to the “tertiary orality”1 question.

But what about deaf 1 A previous discussion concerned fitting computer-mediated communication into Walter J. Ong’s “primary” and “secondary” orality distinction (Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the Word, New Accent Series [London and New York: Methuen, 1982], pp. 135-37). “Tertiary orality” was suggested by Eric Crump as a possible term to describe the dual oral/literate nature of on-line conversation.
