Summary

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.

The Language Instinct Summary

The Language Instinct: The New Science of Language And Mind by Steven Pinker

Where does language come from? In this witty tour of human language, Steven Pinker shows that it all comes down to a basic human instinct. 'Groundbreaking, exhilarating, fun...Do yourself a favour and read it' -- John Gribbin, Sunday Times
