Document Summary
When worker bee finds good source of flower nectar at a distance to hive, she returns home to communicate its whereabouts to her fellow workers by performing a patterned waggle dance (see figure 2. 1). During this dance, she repetitively traces a specific path while shaking her body. Bees have their own dialects within species. Monkeys show greater capacity for learning when interpreting signals rather than producing them. Dogs understand pointing while monkeys do not. Being able to take part in complex social activities that rely on mutual coordination is closely tied to the emergence of language. Phonotactic constraints: language- specific constraints that determine how the sounds of a given language may be combined to form words or syllables. trochaic stress pattern: syllable emphasis pattern in which the first syllable is stressed, as in. Blackmail. iambic stress pattern: syllable emphasis pattern in which the first syllable is unstressed, as in return.
