Vocal Communication between Species: Man and Macaque.

Leinonen, Lea; And Others

Language and Communication, v11 n4 p241-62 1991

In a study of interspecies understanding, 75 naive human listeners classified 18 vocalizations of monkeys into 1 of 7 semantic categories, which were also related to the behavioral situation. Results suggest that both species share vocalization patterns signalling fear, aggression, dominance, and emotional neutrality. (45 references) (LB)
