Question

Herman, Richards, and Woltz (1984) trained dolphins to understand hand commands. Their dolphins could understand five-sign strings, as well as some rules of language. For instance, their dolphins Phoenix and Akeakamai, understood the order words had to be in to perform a certain command. Choose the highest level that the animal may have attained.

A. Phonology
B. Morphology
C. Syntax
D. Semantics

Answer 1

B. Morphology

Step-by-step explanation:

morphology studies words and how they are formed or how they relate to other words in a sentence such as in terms of structure.

Morphology is attained here since the animal understands grammatical rules and sentence structures such as where some parts of speech may appear- verbs, adjectives or nouns. The animal has however not learnt to use these sentences as in speak and so may not be seen to have achieved phonology in the above example
