Abstract:

Communication is a basic behaviour, found across animal 
species. Human language is often thought of as a unique 
system, which separates humans from other animals. This 
textbook serves as a guide to different types of communication, 
and suggests that each is unique in its own way: human verbal 
and nonverbal communication, communication in nonhuman 
primates, in dogs and in birds. Research questions and 
findings from different perspectives are summarized and 
integrated to show students similarities and differences in the 
rich diversity of communicative behaviours. 

A core topic is how young individuals proceed from not being able to 
communicate to reaching a state of competent communicators, 
and the role of adults in this developmental process. 

Evolutionary aspects are also taken into consideration, and 
ideas about the evolution of human language are examined. 
The cross-disciplinary nature of the book makes it useful for 
courses in linguistics, biology, sociology and psychology, but it 
is also valuable reading for anyone interested in understanding 
communicative behaviour.
