Why not?
To me an utterance conveys meaning verbally, but it may or may not be
part of the syntax and grammar of any particular language. I am pretty
sure ululating conveys meaning in context, as much as a moan or a yelp
or muttering under one's breath might.
Maybe I missed that day in vocabulary class... is there a more academic
meaning you are referring to?
Best,
