Structure and Functions of Gesture Sequences in Wild Bonnet Macaques ( <i>Macaca radiata</i> )

2024-03-18

Abstract excerpt

Compositionality, a hallmark of human language, involves generating novel meaning by combining existing units. Nonhuman primates (mostly apes) are known to combine gestural units in non-random ways, but they do not make novel meaning with these combinations. What could, however, be the functional roles of these gesture sequences and whether they bear any significance to language evolution is still unclear. Moreove...
