Language, Cognition, and Human Nature collects together for the
first time Steven Pinker's most influential scholarly work on
language and cognition. Pinker is a highly eminent cognitive
scientist, and his research emphasizes the importance of language
and its connections to cognition, social relationships, child
development, human evolution, and theories of human nature. The
thirteen essays in this eclectic collection span Pinker's
thirty-year career, ranging over topics such as language
acquisitions, visual cognition, the meaning and syntax of verbs,
regular and irregular phenomena in language and their implications
for the mechanisms of cognition, and the social psychology of
direct and indirect speech. Each outlines a major theory - such as
evolution, or nature vs. nurture - or takes up an argument with
other prominent scholars such as Stephen Jay Gould, Noam Chomsky,
or Richard Dawkins. Featuring a new introduction by Pinker that
discusses his books and scholarly work, this book represents a
major contribution to the field of cognitive science, by one of the
field's leading thinkers.
