The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language
Steven Pinker's brilliant, witty, and provocative book 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. Writing with deft use of examples of humor and wordplay, Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of language into a compelling argument that language is a biological adaptation to communicate information.
