Statistical tests are great, but I wish that "eyeballing" the data could become more of a science...Chris Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275787429920482219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22093933.post-1154611436761235242006-08-03T08:23:00.000-05:002006-08-03T08:23:00.000-05:00You're absolutely correct.

The idea is that the patterns were being scrutinized for any aspects that would be compatible with their being also grammatical.Deric Bowndshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617204535017208765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22093933.post-1154559036505746472006-08-02T17:50:00.000-05:002006-08-02T17:50:00.000-05:00these patterns don't show that there's anything "g...these patterns don't show that there's anything "grammatical" about whalesong any more than the similar kinds of waveforms you might get from recording an air conditioner. Both show there are repeating patterns in the sounds, but not that they can be recombined according to specific rules to communicate similar or different things... right? they are beautiful images though.Chris Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275787429920482219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22093933.post-1154551034319826472006-08-02T15:37:00.000-05:002006-08-02T15:37:00.000-05:00Nice and Beautiful....thanks...the "admirerer"...x...Nice and Beautiful....thanks...the "admirerer"...xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
