Affective prosody in grunts of young chimpanzees
Humans acoustically encode affective information into their utterances. This ability, known as ‘affective prosody’, takes pre-linguistic roots and plays an important role in human communication throughout the lifespan by enabling listeners to disambiguate the meaning of speakers’ utterances.
