Co mogę (po)wiedzieć o wiedzy, komunikacji i myślach zwierząt? Rekonesans semantyczny

The author of the paper aims at providing a disciplined description of expressions that refer to semantic properties associated with animals and their minds. The author reflects on the role of animals in language (on the basis of linguistic data), and asks whether animals think. The author hypothesizes that animals think differently from men, because they do not speak and they think only about what they need. The method of analysis is based on putting forward hypotheses in the form of analytical implications and subjecting them to falsification by bringing them down to contradiction.
