abstract: The highly recommended transposition of the dynamic system
approach for tackling the question of apes’ linguistic abilities has clearly not led to a demonstration that these primates have acquired language.
Fundamental differences related to functional modalities – namely, use of the declarative and the form of engagement between mother and infant –can be observed in the way humans and apes use their communicatory systems.
