--- abstract: |- The highly recommended transposition of the dynamic system approach for tackling the question of apes’ linguistic abilities has clearly not led to a demonstration that these primates have acquired language. Fundamental differences related to functional modalities – namely, use of the declarative and the form of engagement between mother and infant –can be observed in the way humans and apes use their communicatory systems. altloc: - http://www.up.univ-mrs.fr/wpsycle/documentpdf/documentvauclair/CommBBS%20Shanker%20King%2002.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Vauclair given: J honourific: Pr lineage: '' date: 2002 date_type: published datestamp: 2004-05-06 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/35/88 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 3588 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/3588/1/Comm_BBS_Shanker_King_02.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'animal communication, language, speech, comparative approach, apes' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:32 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 642-643 pubdom: TRUE publication: The Behavioral and Brain Sciences publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:51:54 subjects: - comp-psy succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: 'Does the use of the dynamic system approach really help fill in the gap between human and non human primate language ?
