They lack the kind of structure that  ___70___  us to divide a human utterance into  ___71___ .
    We can change an utterance by  ___72___  one word in it with  ___73___ : a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g ., "tanks approaching from the north",  ___74 ___ who can change one word and say "aircraft approaching from the north" or "tanks approaching from the west"; but a bird has a single alarm cry,  ___75 ___ means "danger!"
    This is why the number of  ___76___  that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit (山雀) is a case  ___77___  point; it has about twenty different calls,  ___78___  in human language the number of possible utterances is  ___79___ . It also explai ns why animal cries are very  ___80___  in meaning.
