Semiotic combinations in Pan
Communicative combinations of two bonobos (Pan paniscus) and a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) are compared. All three apes utilized ordering strategies for combining symbols (lexigrams) or a lexigram with a gesture to express semantic relations such as agent of action or object of action. Combinatorial strategies used by all three apes revealed commonalities with child language, spoken and signed, at the two-year-old level. However, many difference…
Precursors of morality in the use of the symbols "good" and "bad" in two bonobos (Pan paniscus) and a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)
Confrontation and support in bonobo-human discourse
As part of a program to explore the communicative abilities of bonobo apes within the human-ape culture at the Language Research Center at Georgia State University, we made two complementary analyses of a conversation between Sue Savage-Rumbaugh and Kanzi. We made both a conversation analysis and a lexico-grammatical analysis of their interaction. The conversation analysis revealed the participants negotiating the interpersonal meanings of confro…
Bonobo (Pan paniscus) Spatial Memory and Communication in a 20-hectare Forest
Observational word learning in two bonobos (Pan paniscus)
Linguistic, Cultural and Cognitive Capacities of Bonobos(Pan Paniscus)
When human cultures merge, each takes on characteristics of the other and a completely new culture may emerge. Can a similar kind of phenomenon occur when the ways of being, doing, thinking, speaking and acting meld between two closely related hominid species, like Panand Homo? We point to a new kind of group process, termed a Pan/ Homoculture, and characterized by changes in the behavior of each species. A common emic perspective has developed b…
Continuing Investigations into the Stone Tool-making and Tool-using Capabilities of a Bonobo ( )
The development of language skills in PAN - II. Production
The development of language skills in bonobo and chimpanzee-I. Comprehension
Language comprehension and use by great apes
Comparing communicative competence in child and chimp
Through an analysis of chimpanzee–human discourse, we show that two Pan troglodytes chimpanzees and two Pan paniscus chimpanzees (bonobos) exposed to a humanly devised symbol system use partial or complete repetition of others' symbols, as children do: they do not produce rote imitations, but instead use repetition to fulfil a variety of pragmatic functions in discourse. These functions include agreement, request, promise, excitement, and selecti…
Pan the Tool-Maker
Vocal communication as a function of differential rearing experiences inPan paniscus
Ape Language
A Social-Technological Model for the Evolution of Language [and Comments and Reply]
This paper develops a model for the evolution of language that is consistent with semanticist and pragmaticist interpretations of the forms and functions of language and the processes of language acquisition and language change. The proximate aspect of the model emphasizes the social contexts of language acquisition and language change; its adaptive aspect emphasizes the sociobiological concept of communication as social manipulation. Both aspect…
Linguistically Mediated Tool Use and Exchange by Chimpanzees (Pan Troglodytes)
Symbolic communication—its origins and early development in the chimpanzee
Language acquisition in the chimpanzee does not involve the appearance of words or combinations of words: It is the construction of complex cognitive schemata which must be purposefully built and intentionally linked to symbols and to the abstract communicative process itself
Socio-sexual behavior in Pan paniscus and Pan troglodytes
