Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
In this classic study, the world's leading expert on language and the mind lucidly explains everything you always wanted to know about languages: how it works, how children learn it, how it changes, how the brain computes it, and how it envolved. With wit, erudition, and deft use it everyday 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 like web spinning in spiders or sonar bats. 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.
Review:
"...simply the best popular science book I have read in years.... He takes us way beyond Chomsky."
Simon Jenkins, Spectator, 11/18/1995
Review:"...a wonderfully accessible version of the theory that 'language is no more a cultural invention than is upright posture'..."
Paul Muldoon, Times Literary Supplement, 12/01/1995
