Immanuel Kanzi: Human Language
A 26 year old bonobo named Kanzi can understand many human symbols and words. The bonobo knows over 300 words and symbols and can also use many human electronics. I think that animals can use language.
One way that Kanzi uses human language is Kanzi and many of the other apes in the great ape trust complex use human machines and electronics.some of the electronics and machines are vending machines,microwaves,phones and hydraulic doors. The apes can press the button on the vending machine to selects the food they want such as blue berry,onions,celery and m&m’s.
Another way kanzi uses language is Kanzi has his own electronic keyboard with symbols on it. The directors who teach kanzi ask him to select a symbol such as yogurt or other foods or
items. It is called a lexigram and it is an electronic touch pad which a male's voice speaks out of.
The last way that apes use language is that savage rumba told kanzi that yogurt should be given to panbanisha. Kanzi spoke to panbanisha and told her to select yogurt. Panbanisha selected yogurt on the lexigram.
Animals normally just do the tasks for treats. Even though they do it for treats they still can do tasks and speak language so apes can communicate and use many gadgets that humans use. Those are some of the ways that animals can use language.
