Early vocal production and functional flexibility in wild infant chimpanzees

2019-11-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> How did human language evolve from earlier forms of communication? One way to address this question is to compare prelinguistic human vocal behavior with nonhuman primate calls. Here, an important finding has been that, prior to speech, human infant vocal behavior exhibits functional flexibility, the capacity of producing protophones that are not tied to one specific function. Nonhuman primate v...
