Multimodal communication and language origins: integrating gestures and vocalizations
The presence of divergent and independent research traditions in the gestural and vocal
domains of primate communication has resulted in major discrepancies in the definition and …

The multi-dimensional nature of vocal learning
How learning affects vocalizations is a key question in the study of animal communication
and human language. Parallel efforts in birds and humans have taught us much about how …

Chimpanzees produce diverse vocal sequences with ordered and recombinatorial properties
The origins of human language remains a major question in evolutionary science. Unique to
human language is the capacity to flexibly recombine a limited sound set into words and …

Experimental evidence for compositional syntax in bird calls
Human language can express limitless meanings from a finite set of words based on
combinatorial rules (ie, compositional syntax). Although animal vocalizations may be …
