The result of a conference on language and related cognitive
processes in animals, this book brings together scientists working
on language and communication, reviews research done on language in
apes and dolphins, and places this work in a larger perspective of
animal communication and cognition. The conference convened an
international group of distinguished scientists interested in
exploring the neurological, cognitive, social, and behavioral
aspects of communication in animals. A broad spectrum of
perspectives was represented, including naturalistic investigations
of animals in their natural habitat as well as strictly controlled
laboratory investigations. Similarly, a broad range of species was
described including rats, parrots, monkeys, apes, dolphins, and
humans.
New methodologies and perspectives are continuously emerging that
allow consideration of issues that previously could not be
resolved. Emerging technology such as video equipment and advanced
database systems allow one to exhaustively record in an accessible
format the evidence on which scientific conclusions must be based.
Investigation of animal language and communication is a small, but
vigorously exciting area of scientific investigation as the
chapters in this volume clearly attest.
