Document Summary
Comparing human communication with other animal communication needs a way to identify language, so this is made. Mode of communication: sounds, visual cues, touch, odor, electrical signals. Interchangeability: a part of a species may be able to send a certain message, but the other part cannot send the same. Cultural transmission: some species can only use communicatio(cid:374) that(cid:859)s ge(cid:374)eti(cid:272)ally i(cid:374)(cid:374)ate, regional dialects can be seen in some animals. Non iconic: not direct relationship between symbol and meaning. Discreteness: most animals send indivisible messages, except for bees. Displacement: ca(cid:374)(cid:859)t talk a(cid:271)out future or past, altho bees and apes show this to a limit. Quantitatively: has all design features, but to an extent. Dances communicating certain info about food source to other members. Quality of food is shown thru vivacity of movements. Sickle: indicates locations at an intermediate distance from hive. Traces out sickle shaped figure eight on wall. Angles shows angle of the food source from sun.
