“Displacement and discreteness are two fundamental properties that distinguish human language from the communication systems of birds and other animals.”
Victoria A. Fromkin, An Introduction to Language

“However, the natural sounds and gestures produced by all non-human primates are highly stereotyped and limited in the type and number of messages they convey, consisting mainly of emotional responses to particular situations. They have no way of expressing the anger they felt yesterday or the anticipation of tomorrow.”
Victoria A. Fromkin, An Introduction to Language
