	Koko.org / The Education of Koko / Ch. 2
		From the beginning of Project Koko I had a dual role: I was a scientist attempting to teach a gorilla a human sign language, but I was also a mother to a one-year-old infant with all an infant's needs and fears.
		Koko was, after all, only one year old, and when not asleep, she was constantly moving and exploring.
		It was impossible within the confines of Koko's display cage to seal her off from spoken languages (the glass was hardly soundproof and some zoo visitors seemed to take it as a sacred obligation to make remarks to Koko and whoever was in with her).

		Nor could I have anticipated that the intense controversy ape-language experiments generated within the behavioral sciences a decade ago would still be continuing today.
		It means establishing that Koko in fact made the sign cited, that she knew what she meant, and that her behavior was intentional, not imitative or cued.
		The language Koko uses, American Sign Language, or Ameslan as it is called by the deaf for whom it is a primary mode of communication, is the fourth most commonly used language in the United States.

	Language Log: Koko's Trip to the Dentist
		Nor was she able to express the degree of her pain in language.
		How they taught her the meaning of the chart is itself an interesting question, and we should probably be impressed that she was able to learn how to use the chart to express the extent of her pain, if that is indeed what she did.
		But the linguistic point here is that, although Koko is able to use symbols, her linguistic ability is quite different from that of a human being.

		In the case of Koko Nor, we have a considerable amount of communications intelligence which confirms the existence of a nuclear complex in the area, but our under standing of its specific functions and capabilities is based entirely on analysis of overhead photography.

		The original facilities at Lanchou, Yumen, and Koko Nor were built with Soviet help, but they are all located close to the Soviet border and are highly visible and vulnerable to air strikes.

	The New York Review of Books: GORILLA TALK
		The Sebeoks assume that because Koko had refused to use this sign on this particular day with this particular assistant, even when the teacher repeatedly demonstrated ("cued!") the sign, that she had not mastered it; however drink was a sign Koko had then used reliably on a daily basis for several years.
		The Sebeoks state that the types of responses Koko gave to avoid the double blind test were not included in the four categories of errors I listed, so that "we may assume they are in fact not represented in the sixty percent score" she achieved.
		The full context of Koko's "Flower pink fruit stink, fruit stink pink" rhyme was a dinnertime discussion of broccoli with two teachers, one of whom responded, "You're rhyming, neat!" to which koko replied "Love meat sweet." Following this incident, her ability to rhyme was tested.
