The research on primate language suggests that chimpanzees tend to utilize language to request or ask for something, rather than to comment on their environment or communicate abstract concepts. They also tend to use relatively simple, one-word utterances rather than forming more complex sentences. However, chimpanzees have been shown to be capable of describing objects using language and communicating with humans using sign language or other methods.
