DO ANIMALS HAVE “LANGUAGE?” • No animals learn a human-type language. However, some animal languages are impressive:
“TALKING” ANIMALS: • ants • bees (Von Frisch) • birds (Alcock): parrots and cockatiels (Patterson) • bovines • canines • equines (Clever Hans) • felines (Nilsen cat) • fish: dolphins (Lilly) • primates (Vikki-Hayes, Koko-Patterson, Warshow-Gardners, Lana, Nim Chimsky-Terrace, Sarah-Thomas/Church)
ANIMAL LANGUAGE: • Attacking • Baring Throat • Body Coloring and Shape • Calls • Chuttering • Facial Expression • Giving Off Pheromones • Singing • Tail Slapping • Tail Wagging Dancing (Round, Tail-wagging, Sickle) • Whistling
ANIMAL MESSAGES: • Attention • Come • Defiance • Dominance • Food • Friendship • Go • Mimicry (for deception and for bonding) • Protection (camouflage, assistance, misleading enemies…) • Sex • Territory
HUMAN-LANGUAGES AMONG ANIMALS: • AMESLAN • Computers • Creations: “Sugar Fruit,” “Finger Bracelet” • Magnetic Chips • Yerkish • NOTE: Some mother primates have taught sign language to their daughters; is this like Planet of the Apes?
