8、 because they communicate through honking, donkeylike sounds.

9、8 adult male penguins living in Italian zoos. Males tend to vocalize a lot during the mating period, which is why the researchers turned to this population. The scientists knew from previous research that African penguins honk using three distinct types of sounds, similar to human syllables (音节), wh
10、en greeting one another, mating, or defending territory. But the researchers wanted to know whether those “syllables” followed two common linguistic (语言学的) rules.One of those rules, called Zipfs law in short, was proposed in 1945 by the linguist George Kingsley Zipf. The law states that the more fre
11、quently a word is used in any language, the shorter it tends to be (think of words like “the”, “to” and “of” in English).

12、says that the longer a word or phrase is, the shorter its component syllables are, while shorter words are more likely to have longer syllables. The word “onomatopoeia”, for example, is made of six very short syllables, while “couch” is made of one longer one. Previous studies have shown that nonhum
13、an primates follow both these rules when they communicate with each other, but what about jackass penguins?The researchers of the new study found that the songs of the male jackass penguin conform to both Zipfs and MenzerathAltmanns laws: The shortest calls tended to be the most common, and the long
14、est phrases were made up of the shortest syllables. This study provided the first nonprimate evidence that these common linguistic patterns extend into the animal kingdom, the authors wrote, and thats nothing to hem and haw at.5Why did the researchers choose adult male jackass penguins?AThey can voc
