communicating with dolphins 2

In the 1960s, John Lilly, M.D., prolific writer and explorer of consciousness via the isolation tank (his invention), and contemporary and associate of Timothy Leary, began experiments in the Virgin Islands aiming to establish meaningful communication between humans and the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). Lilly financed, mostly personally, a human-dolphin cohabitat, a house on the ocean's shore that contained an area that was partially flooded and allowed a human and dolphin to live together in the same space, sharing meals, play, language lessons, and even sleep.
Two experiments of this sort are explained in detail in Lilly's popular books. The first experiment was more of a test run to check psychological and other strains on the human and cetacean participants, determining the extent of the need for other human contact, dry clothing, time alone, and so on. Despite tensions after several weeks, the experimenter, Margaret C. Howe, agreed to a 2 1⁄2-month experiment, living isolated with a dolphin named Peter.
A basic outline of Peter dolphin's linguistic progress is as follows: early lessons involved mostly noise and interruptions from Peter during English lessons, and a food reward of fish was necessary for him to 'attend class.' After several weeks, a concerted effort by Peter to imitate the instructor's speech was evident, and human-like sounds were apparent, and recorded. More interesting was the dolphin's immediate grasp of basic semantics, such as the different aural indicators for 'ball' and 'doll' and other toys present in the aquarium. Peter was able to perform tasks such as retrieval on the (aurally) indicated object without fail. Later in the project the dolphin's ability to process linguistic syntax was made apparent, in that Peter could distinguish between the commands (e.g., only) "Bring the ball to the doll," and "Bring the doll to the ball." This ability not only demonstrates the bottlenose dolphin's grasp of basic grammar, but also implies the dolphins' own language must include some such syntactical rules. The correlation between length and 'syllables' (bursts of the dolphin's sound) with the instructor's speech also went from essentially zero at the beginning of the session to almost a perfect correlation by its completion. I.e., a sentence spoken by the instructor involving 35 syllables and lasting 8 seconds would be met with an 8-second burst of sound from Peter dolphin involving 35 easily discernible 'syllables' or bursts of sound.
Any of you guys ever heard about this experiment or other studies regarding humans communicating with dolphins?
I find this type of research to be very interesting and would love to learn more about it, im sure dolphins would have some interesting knowledge to impart on us.

You left out the part when Margaret Howe started jerking the dolphin off several times a day.

They have a deeper understanding of things than we think.
There's this one guy I've always found highly intriguing that forms highly intimate, personal bonds with dolphins.
Have a look. http://archive.today/1p8y7

no but I've ridden a dolphin before.

SUPER interesting place, the dolphins there are actually able to come and go as they please, the enclosures are open to the ocean - I believe the only dolphin there I saw in a full enclosure had just given birth so they had sectioned her and her baby off from the other dolphins for a bit. They come for the fishes, but they all hang out on the local reefs chillin with divers too.

I'm cynical after finding out that Koko the gorilla probably wasn't really aware of what she was signing. I'm not sure how far attempts to teach non-humans our language and grammar and syntax etc. will work, especially without effective blinding(??) controls.
There are physiological barriers to teaching a dolphin to speak English (or even teaching an gorilla to sign language). Maybe it would be easier to build a machine to speak dolphin or ape?
