Linguistic structure is undoubtedly present in the firing patterns of some subset of neurons in the human neocortex. Before I dismiss the plausibility of dolphin sounds being relatively direct transduction of neuron firing, I'd want to see what linguistic structure looks like in human neuron firing patterns and compare that structure to structures apparent in the acoustics present when dolphins are in communication. In particular, there have been cases where two dolphins were facing each other for enough time that investigators were able to lower a microphone between them and picked up focused acoustics going between them. This seems a good place to start looking.
