In this fascinating book, Steven Pinker explores the mysteries of language through an in-depth analysis of regular and irregular verbs. This approach reveals surprising connections between the history of languages, the errors children make when learning to speak, Western philosophy, and the latest research in genetics and neuroscience. Pinker argues that language is composed of a mental dictionary of memorized words and a mental grammar of creative rules, offering an innovative and accessible view of how our linguistic ability works.
Steven Arthur Pinker is a Canadian cognitive psychologist, psycholinguist, popular science author, and public intellectual. He is an advocate of evolutionary psychology and the computational theory of mind. Pinker is the Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University.
