This chapter briefly reviews what is known-and what remains to be understood-about Grey parrot vocal learning. I review Greys' physical capacities-issues of auditory perception and production-then discuss how these capacities are used in vocal learning and can be recruited for referential communication with humans. I discuss cross-species comparisons where applicable and conclude with a description of recent research that integrates issues of reference, production and perception.
本章简要回顾了人们对灰鹦鹉发声学习的已知（和未知）内容。我先回顾灰鹦鹉的生理能力——听觉感知和产生方面的问题，然后讨论这些能力如何用于发声学习，并可用于与人类进行有参照的交流。在适用的情况下，我讨论了跨物种的比较，并以对整合参照、产生和感知问题的最新研究的描述作为结束。
