Recent work suggests that categorical perception is not due to unique human adaptation but rather can also be found in chinchillas, macaques, and birds, suggesting that the basis for categorical perception is ‘‘a primitive vertebrate characteristic’’ (Hauser, Chomsky, and Fitch 2002)

While we have found no clear evidence that animals have form–meaning pairings corresponding, for example, to personal pronouns in human languages, there appears to be a concept of deixis, as has been shown especially in studies of chimpanzees who have been taught sign language: The animals studied by Gardner and Gardner (1969) display a
distinction of personal deixis: The sign for ‘me’ was made by tapping one’s own chest and the sign for ‘you’ by pointing away from the chest toward the addressee.
