In the lecture, the speaker argues that the reading’s point is groundless. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that chimpanzees can learn
and use complex language just as humans do.
To begin with, the lecturer maintains that learning symbols is not proof
of advanced language capacity. This is because they was given treat for
producing the symbols. Thus, this is a trained behavior to obtain a reward. This opposes the reading’s point that chimpanzees can learn the symbols.
On top of that, he contends that the chimpanzee may be able to produce
some meaningful sounds. However, they can’t produce a lots of sounds like
humans do. The chimps’ vocal organs are poorly developed in comparison with
people’. This contradicts the reading’s claim that the chimps can produce a variety
of meaningful sounds.
Finally, the lecturer argues that although chimpanzees can combined symbol,
a structure and length to form sentences is limited. However, humans can
combined symbol with lots of lengths and
structures. This refutes the reading’s point that they can make to be equivalent to sentence
produced by humans.
