Abstract
Modelling language behaviour requires not only the specification of the structures that support behaviour in this modality but also the specification of the processes and of the interaction environment that enable a child to acquire these structures. Some clues to what these acquisition processes could be may be derived from an analysis of the chimpanzee language learning experiments of the last decade as we shall see in this chapter.
