From the Back Cover
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.
About the Author
Steven Pinker studied Experimental Psychology at McGill University, Montreal, and Harvard University. He has taught at Harvard, Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He is currently Professor of Psychology and Director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at MIT and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has received research prizes from the National Academy of Sciences and the American Psychological Association. Lalla Ward trained as an actress and appeared most notably as Dr Who's (Tom Baker's) assistant and Ophelia to Derek Jacobi's Hamlet. She is married to Richard Dawkins, the driving force behind the Talking Science series, and travels round the world with him in a lecturing 'double act'. TBC
