In this classic, the world's expert on language and mind
lucidly explains everything you always wanted to know about
language: how it works, how children learn it, how it changes, how
the brain computes it, and how it evolved. With deft use of
examples of humor and wordplay, Steven Pinker weaves our vast
knowledge of language into a compelling story: language is a human
instinct, wired into our brains by evolution. "The Language
Instinct" received the William James Book Prize from the American
Psychological Association and the Public Interest Award from the
Linguistics Society of America. This edition includes an update on
advances in the science of language since "The Language Instinct"
was first published.
