Research into great ape language has involved teaching chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans to communicate with human beings and with each other using sign language, physical tokens, and lexigrams; see Yerkish. Some primatologists argue that the primates' use of these tools indicates their ability to use "language", although this is not consistent with some definitions of that term. == Questions in animal language research == Animal language research attempts to answer the following questions: * What problems can non-human animals solve without language, and can they solve them better after they have received language training? * Can the lessons learned in teaching non-human animals be applied to human children? * How, and how much, do non-human animals' abilities to learn language differ from those of humans? * Are the abilities that underlie language general or highly specialized? * Where is the line between language and other forms of communication? 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Great ape language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
