Abstract

The article is a case study of a chimpanzee bonobo – Kanzi. The author of the paper aims at providing a comparison of formal (mathematical) and empirical (linguistic, psychological, biological) results of research on the grammar of human and non -human language or codes. The content of the paper focuses on the issues relating to the power of grammatical combinations. The author seeks to answer the question: What differentiates human and animal communication?
