According to a new study published in Current Biology, this breakthrough research is the first indication that chimps can____II_______ different words, or tones, for different objects - in short, be bilingual.
“An extraordinary feature of human language is our ability to reference external objects and events with socially learned symbols, or words," said the head researcher on the study, Dr. Katie Slocombe. "These data represent the first evidence of non-human animals actively modifying and socially learning the structure of a meaningful referential vocalization.”
