Art/Literary - Journalism / género: ensayo | | Spanish term or phrase: propensos | | Los chimpancés son inteligentes, sensibles a la amistad y a los lazos familiares, propensos por igual a la alegria y al abatimiento. Aprenden con facilidad un número considerable de costumbres humanas - entre ellas el manejo de utensilios y herramientos - y establecen formas sofisticadas de communicación. Una cría de chimpancé que se abraza a su madre porque tiene miedo o ganas de mamar mira con un desamaparo y una viveza idénticos a los de un bebé humano. (Antonio Muñez Molina, 1956- "Nuestros semejantes") |

WHAT MIGHT BE LEARNED FROM STUDYING
LANGUAGE IN THE CHIMPANZEE?
THE IMPORTANCE OF SYMBOLIZING ONESELF
One indicator of a symbolic self in a symbol-learning chimpanzee would be
specific reference to its own emotions and feelings. As a creatrure prone to emotional
expression of fear, anger, happiness, frustration, like, dislike, sadness, and so on, it
may prove possible to teach a chimpanzee to name those states.
