The language instinct : the new science of language and mind
Pinker, Steven, 1954-1994
Books
By making noises with our mouths, we can cause new combinations of ideas to arise in each other's minds. It comes so naturally that we are apt to forget what a miracle it is. Pursuing the ideas of Darwin and Chomsky, Pinker offers a look at why we use language and where this ability comes from.
