Why chimpanzees can't learn language and only humans can / Herbert S. Terrace. by Terrace, Herbert S., author. New York : Columbia University Press, [2019] Description:  xxii, 219 pages : 23 cm Edition:  First Edition. Contents:  Innumerable gradations -- Ape language -- Recent human ancestors and the possible origin of words -- Before an infant learns to speak -- The origin of language, words in particular -- Epilogue -- Notes -- References. Summary:  Herbert S. Terrace revisits his 1970s experiment to teach a chimpanzee language, Project Nim, to offer a novel view of the origins of human language. In contrast to both Noam Chomsky and his critics, Terrace contends that words, as much as grammar, are the cornerstones of language.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 599.885 Ter 2019 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
