Questions 1~5
         Many researchers believe that apes can communicate with human beings Investigations made at  several laboratories in the United States and elsewhere indicate that  chimpanzees and gorillas are capable of understanding language and using linguistic responses at the level  of a four-year-old child. Washoe, an adult chimpanzee who was raised as if she were a deaf child, can translate words she hears into American  Sign Language. Koko's 400-pound lowland gorilla, is claimed to have understood a poem written about her. Tests of  Koko's auditory comprehension show that she is able to make discriminations between such words as “funny”, ”money”and “bunny. ”

      The  scientists  at  the  forefront  of  this  research  admit  that  their  work  has  been  severely criticized. The skeptics in general claim that apes' language behavior is merely imitative. For this behavior  to be  called “language”,  it  must  also be  communicative.  The  proponents  of  ape language counter that those who deny the validity of this research have never worked with apes. They point  out  that  new   fields  of investigation always create controversy. They   add  that subhuman  primates  have not  been  taught  to  speak,  however, because the  outer  layer  of their brain hemispheres is not sufficiently refined.
