Bonobo language research

Iowa, USA (Great Ape Trust): One of the methods in which researchers at Great Ape Trust will communicate with bonobos is through the use of lexigram boards. Each lexigram, or symbol, represents a word. However, the symbols are not necessarily characteristic of the word they represent. Researchers and bonobos communicate with three lexigram panels containing 384 symbols and words. The development of computer-monitored lexigram keyboards was a key component to studies conducted at the Language Research Center at Georgia State University in Atlanta.
