Abstract
In placing the attempts to teach language to nonhuman species in both a cultural and philosophical context, we consider evolutionary claims about the origins of human language, and Quine's indeterminacy of translation thesis. In contrasting the natural language acquired by humans with the artificial language taught nonhumans, we propose treating the human mind as a blend of learning, hard-wiring and cognition. We discuss the nature of each of the components, suggest how they may interact, and compare the three-component human system with the two-component system of other species.
