The Hulk's intelligence and conversational prowess has changed multiple times over the years. It all really depends on who is writing him. You know, artistic license. Other times it's because some other factor relating to his mutation has effected the ol' brainpan. For example, there have been times the Hulk only got less articulate when he got mad, or he was bombarded by more Gamma radiation. There was at least four or five times that the Hulk retained the intelligence and mind of Bruce Banner (notably a pretty long stint in the early 90's when he as the "Professor") and the Grey Hulk has always been pretty smart, but very cruel.
