About this Item

New York, Perennial - HarperCollins, 2000. e 525 pp. Pb . In this book, Steven Pinker, one of the world's leading scientists of language and the 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, how it evolved. But The Language Instinct is no encyclopedia. With wit, erudition, and deft use of everyday examples of humor and wordplay, Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of language into a compelling theory: that language is a human instinct, wired into our brains by evolution like web-spinning in spiders or sonar in bats. Page edges slightly tanned. Spine bit hollow. Otherwise nice and clean copy. Seller Inventory # 57522
