[Comparison of species-specific bird sound signals and human speech sounds].

We carried out a comparative study of spectral-prosodic characteristics of bird vocalization and human speech. Comparison was made between the relative characteristics of the fundamental frequency and spectral maxima. Criteria were formulated for the comparison of bird's signals and human speech. A certain correspondence was found between the vocal structures of birds and humans. It was proposed that in the course of evolution, man adopted the main structural principles of his acoustic signalling from birds.

[Acoustic analysis of signals in mammals].

Spectral-prosodic characteristics of signals were analyzed synchronously with the main frequency for 32 mammals and one reptile using a KAZ-01 complex sound analyzer. The method of phoneme analysis was adapted for analysis of the signals. The main features of signaling in mammals have been revealed, which differed from those in birds and humans: low frequency range, low fundamental frequency, small number of local maxima, small frequency distance between them, and a significant amount of local maxima with zero energy.
