Laryngeal vocalizations: Grunts as a gateway to language?
2021, LinguaCitation Excerpt :The fact that many primate species’ call repertoires include a vocal signal related to travel, an effortful activity, is intriguing in relation to the grunt/effort hypothesis. Gorillas (Stewart and Harcourt, 1994) and vervet monkeys (Cheney and Seyfarth, 1990a) signal travel with a grunt vocalization. More recent chimpanzee studies (e.g., Gruber and Zuberbühler, 2013) report that the ‘travel hoo’ serves to coordinate joint travel, while Goodall (1986) suggested that “grunts function to regulate movement and cohesion among friendly individuals” (131).
How does the brain navigate knowledge of social relations? Testing for shared neural mechanisms for shifting attention in space and social knowledge
2021, NeuroImageCitation Excerpt :First, this task was adapted from a prior study (Kumaran et al., 2012), in which providing a social context merely through verbal instructions evoked distinct neural processes for learning social, compared to non-social, hierarchies. Second, this task resembles real-world social status hierarchy learning in that in both cases, status knowledge largely emerges from observing relations between pairs of individuals and using transitive inference to construct mental representations of social hierarchies (Cheney and Seyfarth, 1990a, 1990b). However, both social tasks differed in many respects from how social relations are learned and navigated in the real-world.
De se or not de se: a question of grammar
2021, Language SciencesCitation Excerpt :In the specific case of referential thought, of which thought de se is a subspecies, this problem becomes particularly pronounced. Although reference as such is neither human-specific nor dependent on language, the closest non-linguistic analogue to linguistic (declarative) reference, namely index–finger pointing, is closely linked to language in both neurotypical (Iverson and Goldin-Meadow, 2005; Colonnesi et al., 2010) and atypical (Maljaars et al., 2011; Slušná et al., 2018) human development, it is fully linguistic in sign languages (cf. Cormier et al., 2013 for discussion); and it is essentially absent in non-linguistic species including non-human primates (Tomasello, 2006; Tempelmann et al., 2013; Tomasello and Call, 2018) and monkeys (Cheney and Seyfarth, 1990). Since reference de se is a species of self-reference and self-reference is a species of reference, it would again be highly surprising if reference de se was available to any such species (which, again, would clearly not rule out various other forms of self-awareness).
