Chimpanzee alarm call production meets key criteria for intentionality [PDF]

, 2013
Determining the intentionality of primate communication is critical to understanding the evolution of human language. Although intentional signalling has been claimed for some great ape gestural signals, comparable evidence is currently lacking for their

Neurobiology of vocal communication: mechanisms for sensorimotor integration and vocal patterning [PDF]

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2010
This review will focus on recent developments in the sensorimotor integration of vocal communication. Two broad themes are emphasized: the evolution of vocal production and perception, and the role of social context. Advances include: a proposal for the emergence of vocal patterning during vertebrate evolution, the role of sensory mechanisms such as ...

Relationship of the cricothyroid space with vocal range in female singers [PDF]

, 2014
It is well documented that the cricothyroid (CT) space opens and closes with changes in pitch, narrowing with rising pitch and widening with falling pitch.

Vocal efficiency in crows

Animal Cognition
Many communicative systems have been selected for efficiency, shaped by the trade-off between information transmission and energetic or temporal constraints.

Sound iconicity in the transition from protosign to protospeech

Frontiers in Language Sciences
So-called “gesture-first” accounts of language origins suggest that human language began with gestural communication, including movements of the hand and face.

Neurons in the bat auditory cortex encode class and complexity of future vocalizations

Communications Biology
Vocal production is a complex behavior across the animal kingdom that relies on coordinated motor and auditory networks. However, the contribution of sensory areas in vocal control remains poorly understood.

Vocal mother-offspring communication in guinea pigs: females adjust maternal responsiveness to litter size [PDF]

, 2008
In parent-offspring communication, vocal signals are often used to attract attention and offspring might call to induce parental behaviour. In guinea pigs (Cavia aperea f.
