[...] The utterance obtained makes sense and is in perfect conformity with the context. The re-articulated and semantically translated animal sonorities provide a communicative effect because they appeal to the reader by identifying him using 'per te' (for you). The verbal re-articulations of animal sonorities are in fact aimed at repeating the same sound resulting in phonic and echoic harmony. In order for the voices generated by the sonorities emitted by animals to be effective, it is necessary to follow a rigorous process always based on verbal re-articulation characterized by the iteration of phonic and semantic terms, the economy of their use, and 'parallelism' which invites the construction of a sequence of sonorities allowing animal vocalizations to correspond to the structures inherent to human language.

[...] However, they evoke a whole form of communication that zoosemiotics6 attempt to shed light. However, cultures from other geographical spheres do not account for this semantic uniqueness of the significant elements of the cries related to animals. The fauna consisting mainly of birds of the Kaluli people in Papua New Guinea explains to us through the exploration of American anthropologist Steven Feld that the bird songs of the rainforest of this place are not just the chirping of birds but also the voice of the deceased.

[...] Animal 'vocality' becomes 'sound icon' and becomes folklorized by human culture specific to a given community. Ultimately, Battistini's analysis aims to show that animal cries and songs do not limit themselves to animal communication but extend to plants and human beings. In relation to other considerations, particularly those of interactionists and linguists such as Gofmann (1991) and Garfinkel (2007), communication between animal and human contributes to shedding light on social behavior in general. However, some linguists and philosophers of language do not share the idea that communication between humans and animals would be possible because, if we agree with Aristotle's words in his 'different zoological treatises', he provides precision on the real meaning of what animal language is: 'Only among animals, man has the use of speech; others have, like him, the development of the voice to express pain and pleasure.

[...] This 'game of enunciation in direct interaction' is the process used by man revealing a back-and-forth movement between himself and the animal. Ultimately, the issue is the semantic junction between man and animal, folklore and nature. II. Critical analysis of the article: This article published by Emilio Battistini with the title Animal Vocalizations: Verbal Re-articulation and Enunciation Game on April follows the Colloques directed by Denis Bertrand and Michel Constantini with the central theme The Word to Animals. Condition of Extension of Enunciation January This production by Battistini is an excellent starting point for the analysis of the aforementioned theme. [...]
[...] Among those that are most significant, we can cite phono-symbolism, onomatopoeia, sound icons, animal vocalizations, verbal re-articulation, and many others. Cases were presented by the author to support his description, including the first, European onomatopoeias, the second, the song of birds among the Papuan Kaluli population, and other cases concerning current verbal re-articulation. Furthermore, he demonstrated striking facts that shed light on his argumentation. He mentioned the way the Romans culturalized animal voices in a more distant era. Indeed, here, Battistini explains that the meaning of the sounds emitted by animals changes over time and space. [...]
