Language Experiments with Monkeys Reveal Shibboleth of Food
R L Garning recounts experiments in Washington Chicago and Cincinnati where a phonograph and cages trained chimpanzees to emit specific sounds for food drink and alarm. He notes recurring findings on the meaning and use of vocalizations and describes later studies including an Anubis baboon and an Indonesian-like claim about language potential. He predicts science will eventually bridge the gap to simian speech and outlines his broader views on animal communication and the future of linguistic study.
