  1. Campbell’s Monkeys Make Context-Specific Sequences of Vocalizations Proto-Syntax Nonrandom Transition Probabilities of Call Types Addition of Specific Calls into an Existing Sequence to form a Different One Recombination of Two Sequences to Form a Third One "Boom" Look out, falling branch, move! "Boom-boom" Come to me "Krak" Look out, a leopard! "Krak-oo" Watch out, a general warning "Hok" There's a crowned eagle up there "Hok-oo" Movement above "Boom-boom, krak-oo krak-oo" Look out - falling tree "Boom-boom, hok-oo krak-oo hok-oo" We are near another group of monkeys Leaning Wa Ouattara, Lemasson, Zuberbuhler,, PNAS 2009
