Animales habladores

Dolphins and parrots call each other by name; prairie dogs describe intruders in great detail - including their size, shape, speed, and the color of their hair or shirts; bats love to gossip; in the songs of some birds and in the skin patterns of squid we find grammatical structures... With a bit of luck, one day you will come across an animal that wants to talk to you, or even takes the time and effort effort to meet them. If that happens, they will see how much these types of relationships teach us about language and about ourselves. More and more scientific findings show that animals have rich and complex languages ??with structural rules that allow them to strategize, give advice, show love and even gossip. Talking Animals is a fascinating philosophical exploration (in the company of authors such as Aristotle, Descartes, Wittgenstein and Heidegger) of the ways in which animals communicate with each other and with us, revealing their secret and surprising social life, questioning the hierarchy between humans and other creatures and proposes a new way of understanding language.
