The extent to which nonhuman animals can learn actual human language is a controversial question, but many nonhuman species have acquired elements of a two-way communication system that is, and was, sophisticated enough to enable its use in evaluating cognitive capacities. This article is a personal view of the history of these animal language studies.
非人类动物能够学习真正的人类语言的程度是一个有争议的问题,但许多非人类物种已经掌握了一种双向交流系统的要素,这种系统过去和现在都足够复杂,能够用于评估认知能力。本文是对这些动物语言研究历史的个人观点。
