Words and Rules by Steven Pinker
This text answers many questions about the amazing human ability called language. It explains the mysteries of language by examining a single construction from a dozen viewpoints, including the history of language, its simulation by computer neural networks, the use of language as a source of wit and whimsey, the illuminating errors of children as they begin to speak, and the tragic loss of language from neurological disease.
Steven Pinker is Director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at the Massachusetts Institute of the Technology.
