primate communication?

[Celso Alvarez Cáccamo]

Janina Fenigsen,

Sorry, I'm not answering your query (I have no idea about it), but asking
instead: Is it habitual among primatologists and students of primate
communication to refer to this (communication) as "discourse"?  Has this
terminological/conceptual issue been discussed in the field?

Thanks,
