And they also use clicks as a sort of really couldn’t understand that part of the lecture. You could? Yes, the dolphins use clicks to identify objects in the water; they can even identify tiny objects more than 100 meters away using these clicks. Scien- tists believe that a dolphin may even have a sonarlike image in its brain of ‘distant object so that it can identify the object long before the dolphin can actually see the object. So the dolphins use these clicks mostly to identify objects in the water? think so, and they have considerably more ability to do this than humans do. It is hard to believe that, in addition to these sonar clicks, dolphins are actually learning some human lan- guage. Yes, [believe that the lecturer said that some dolphins had already learned around fifty human com: mands, and that those dolphins were able to understand not only individual words but words clustered together in sentences! Dolphins must certainly be amazing animals to do all of that.

Today's lecture is on the difference between the two literary styles of real- ism and naturalism. These two styles have in common a faithfulness to actual experience and a mistrust of idealism. Although they do have several similar ities, realism and naturalism should be clearly differentiated. The realist “objectively reports on events, with the accuracy of the description as the prime motive. The naturalist, on the other hand, has more of a philo- sophie bent; naturalist writings express the writer's philosophy that human actions are determined by nat- ural laws such as heredity and envi- ronment. 47, THIS TALK WOULD PROBABLY BE GIVEN IN WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING COURSES? 48.
