Phonetic properties of chimpanzee, gorilla, and orangutan hoots tell a uniform story and point to new frontiers

2024-03-09

Abstract excerpt

<p>We present a first–ever comparison of phonetic properties across vocalizations by great apes. We show that “hoot–like” calls by (males of) all non–human great ape genera – chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans – overlap with those of human back rounded vowels. Our work underlines the importance of studying the production of calls. Observations from both comparative vocal morphology (non–human great apes have sh...
