%T Information processing and dynamical systems approaches are complementary
%X Shanker and King trumpet the adoption of a ?new paradigm? in communication studies, exemplified by Ape Language Research. While cautiously sympathetic, I maintain that their argument relies on a false dichotomy between ?information? and ?dynamical systems? theory, and that the resulting confusion prevents them from seeing and taking the main chance their line of thinking suggests.
