It might be enjoyable
-
but it does not seem to give us any rich insights.
-
What I think is a lot more interesting
-
is the study of these animal communication systems in the wild.
-
There's a linguistics of human language
-
that has delineated the principles that underlie all human languages.
-
It would be as extraordinarily interesting
-
to attempt the same linguistic program
-
to the other communication systems used in the wild such as
-
the cries of vervet monkeys and bee dance.
-
So, this brings the section on language to a close
-
but I want to tell you a few things we didn't talk about.
