Vocalization
1. act of making
sound
by pushing air past the vocal apparatus in the throat.
2.
sound
evoked by a
primate
, which emanates not from the
neocortex
(that is, from
Broca’s area
and Wernicke’s area), but from the lower
forebrain
, whose
centers
are part of the
limbic system
. Nonhuman
primate
vocalizations
are said to be emotional rather than referential (i.e. they are nonsymbolic).
Primates
such as
vervets
, however, do have discrete
warning calls
for various
predators
, which may be neocortical in
origin
.
