Language, Cognition, and Human Nature collects together for the
first time much of Steven Pinker's most influential scholarly work
on language and cognition. Pinker's seminal research explores the
workings of language and its connections to cognition, perception,
social relationships, child development, human evolution, and
theories of human nature. This eclectic collection spans Pinker's
thirty-year career, exploring his favorite themes in greater depth
and scientific detail. It includes thirteen of Pinker's classic
articles, ranging over topics such as language development in
children, mental imagery, the recognition of shapes, the
computational architecture of the mind, the meaning and uses of
verbs, the evolution of language and cognition, the nature-nurture
debate, and the logic of innuendo and euphemism. Each outlines a
major theory or takes up an argument with another prominent
scholar, such as Stephen Jay Gould, Noam Chomsky, or Richard
Dawkins. Featuring a new introduction by Pinker that discusses his
books and scholarly work, this collection reflects essential
contributions to cognitive science by one of our leading thinkers
and public intellectuals.
