| Resumen en inglés | According to many ethologist, the vast majority of linguistic properties and features are not uniquely human, but do exist in nonhuman animals as well. Very recently, Ouattara, et. al. (2009) have broadened the range of language properties wich are supposedly shared by nonhuman organisms: they have claimed that a species oF Old World monkeys is endowed with a morphology-like behavior. Our paper has two mains objectives: firstly, we aim at critically discussing Outtara's claim by showing that the behavior shown by Campbell monkeys has nothing to do with true morphology, if morphology is rigorously considered. Secondly, and more generally, we critically analyze the strategy of attribuiting linguistic behaviors to animals, wich has pervaded ethological studies |
