"906","The Emergence of a New Paradigm in Ape Language Research","In place of the information-processing model that has hitherto dominated ape language research, we argue that it is imperative that we now shift to a dynamic systems paradigm, which places the emphasis on the dyad rather than the isolated individual; which sees ape communication as a co-regulated process, rather than a linear and discrete sequence; which focuses on the variability of ape communicative behaviours, rather than treating them as phenotypic traits; and which is thus better able to account for both the social complexity and the developmental character of nonhuman primate communicative abilities.","http://cogprints.org/906/","Shanker, Stuart and King, Barbara","UNSPECIFIED"," Shanker, Stuart and King, Barbara (2000) The Emergence of a New Paradigm in Ape Language Research.
