"What messages do animals send to each other using sound? How can we decipher them? What lessons might these messages offer for understanding the origins and workings of our own communication? Scientists who study bioacoustics try and answer these questions, using physiology, animal behavior, and evolutionary biology to understand how and why animals communicate via sound. In this book, Nicholas Mathevon offers readers an accessible overview of the field of bioacoustics, from the mechanisms of sound to its complex social function. Comprising short, accessible chapters, A Sound Journey explores how sound travels underwater, the act of hearing, and how animals use sounds inaudible to humans. Mathevon also shows how animals use sound to communicate in various circumstances, including parent-offspring relationships, conflict, expressions of emotion, and complex socialization. The study of acoustic communication enables a better understanding of the complexities of animal behavior, and the book uses examples from throughout the animal kingdom to illustrate how discoveries in bioacoustics have revealed various species' behaviors. In the final chapters, Mathevon explores animal "language" and the various philosophical and biological implications of this topic, both for various wild and domesticated species and for our understanding of how human communication systems developed."

Im ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert wächst das Interesse an der Stimme. Vor allem Erscheinungsweisen an den Rändern und jenseits menschlicher Artikulations- und Wahrnehmungsbedingungen geraten in den Blick. Physiologie, Sprachanthropologie, Medientechnik und Literatur untersuchen in intensivem Austausch die Lautäußerungen von Tieren. Die Studie zeichnet die historischen Voraussetzungen und kulturelle Interferenzen der Bioakustik avant la lettre nach. Interest in the voice grew in the late eighteenth century. It was above all its appearance at the peripheries and outside of human articulation and perception that came into view. Physiology, linguistic anthropology, media technology, and literature examined the vocal expressions of animals in an intense process of exchange. This study traces the historic prerequisites for and cultural interferences of bioacoustics avant la lettre.
