TL;DR: The authors defend Tomasello's claim that knowledge of linguistic conventions could be learned through imitation, which is consistent with what we know about both the proliferation of conventional behaviours in human children who are skilful imitators, and the comparative absence of such behaviours in non-human great apes, who are poor at imitative learning.
