The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language
by Steven Pinker
How did language evolve? How old is language? How do we all know how to
speak so effortlessly? Why is structural grammatical language specifically
human? In his illuminating book, Steven Pinker attacks these fundamental
questions with intense curiosity, energetic wit and clarity. He discusses
every facet of human language and uncovers its deepest mysteries. Language,
to Pinker, is an instinct, and he cuts through the jargon of the science of
linguistics to show us how and why. Complemented by Lalla Ward’s superb and eloquent reading, this is an audio book about the power of communication and will enlighten all those curious to understand this human power.
