Animal language research falls under the larger umbrella of animal cognition, which refers to the study of cognitive processes in non-human animals, including perception, learning, memory, and communication. Animal language research specifically focuses on understanding the communication systems of various animal species and analyzing their cognitive abilities in this domain. Comparative linguistics (B) is the study of similarities and differences between languages, primarily human languages. Artificial intelligence (C) involves the replication of human-like cognitive processes in machines.
