Animals can’t talk like humans do – here’s why the hunt for their languages has left us empty-handed Many scientists see evidence of language in the sounds animals put together, but they may be kidding themselves.

The pointless search for #AnimalLanguage

2 #linguistics specialists think the reason we’ve never cracked this problem is that #animals’ #brains r wired differently to #humans

They’ve got a #theory called the #SequenceHypothesis that might explain #why

Wild Orangutans Display Language Complexity Once Thought Uniquely Human Wild orangutans use multi-layered recursive vocal patterns that vary with danger, challenging the idea that only humans use complex, structured communication. In a groundbreaking study from the University...

Google has launched a new AI called DolphinGemma, and it's designed to understand and copy how dolphins communicate. This could be a major step toward humans actually talking with dolphins.

Extensive compositionality in the vocal system of bonobos Compositionality, the capacity to combine meaningful elements into larger meaningful structures, is a hallmark of human language. Compositionality can be trivial (the combination’s meaning is the sum ...

Bonobos use language with a complexity strikingly similar to ours—no other animal comes close.

Bonobos’ calls may be the closest thing to animal language we’ve seen Bonobos, great apes related to us and chimpanzees that live in the Republic of Congo, communicate with vocal calls including peeps, hoots, yelps, grunts, and whistles. Now, a team of Swiss scientists...

2/8 Researchers in Congo's Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve recorded 700 bonobo calls and noted 300 contextual details for each.

This meticulous fieldwork allowed scientists to create a "meaning map" of bonobo vocalization—essentially a dictionary of ape language.

2/8 The remarkable bonobo mastered hundreds of symbols representing objects, activities, and abstract concepts.

He sometimes combined these symbols to create new meanings, as when he described a frightening beaver as "water" + "gorilla" (his term for scary things).

Dolphins name each other, elephants grieve, and birds sing complex dialects. Communication isn’t limited to words; it’s woven into nature.

Stares and ear-twitches: The linguist learning to speak the expressive language of cows Dutch scientist Leonie Cornips has become fascinated with how cows communicate. But can this really be called 'language'?

Het baanbrekende koeientaalonderzoek van Leonie Cornips is opgepikt door de BBC! Hoe kwam Cornips van onderzoek naar dialecten terecht bij dierentaal? En waarom spreekt ze liever van 'taalpraktijken'? Lees het in dit uitgebreide interview. #dierentaal #animallanguage www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Why we aren't fluent in crow when we've heard them talking around us our entire lives is a mystery to me.
