Sebeok writes about 'chimp literature'
"In my opinion, the alleged language experiments with apes divide into
three groups."
"There's one, outright fraud."
"There's two, self-deception."
"There's three, those conducted by Terrace."
Terrace found that a chimp he observed uttered:
give orange me give eat orange me eat orange give me eat orange give me
you.
--- "An ape's longest utterance".
--- "Part of the problem involves the application of Grice's theory of
figures of speech and conversational implicature. It may be argued that the
chimp _meant_ something by that which escapes me. Or not."
