The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language

RECOMMENDED

by Steven Pinker

The classic book on the development of human language by the world’s leading expert on language and the mind.

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.
