Research project Communication between humans and other animals

More and more people (both private individuals and scientists) see animals as subjects rather than objects. Pets are often viewed as family members, and we spend time trying to understand them and make them understand us. But how does communication between and within species work? This is something that linguistics is just beginning to explore.

Information only available in Swedish.
