Baby Meaning

Babies sometimes laugh and sometimes cry. It doesn't take a genius to decode the meaning of these sounds. But it isn't quite as straightforward to [decipher:supplier] the meaning, if any, of an infant's babbles. And humans a little older can make the same sounds [regardless:nonetheless] of how you actually feel - you're able to say "I'm hungry" whether you're ravenous or just gorged yourself.Scientists think that the ability to make the same sounds across a range of emotional states is critical to language [development:improvement] . They also believe it to be uniquely human, because, in previous studies of animal [communication:Interaction] , researchers only observed fixed vocalizations. For example, bonobo chimpanzee pant-laughs and threat barks are tied to a specific emotion or behavior.But the new study finds [evidence:theory] that bonobos in the wild are also capable of flexible vocalizations. Bonobos have a specific call type, a "peep" that they use independent of emotional context.
