Paperback. Zustand: Very Good.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. A brand new unopened and unread paperback copy of this fine 2000 book by Professor Seven Pinker. How does language work? How do children learn their mother tongue? Why do languages change over time, making Shakespearean English difficult for us to follow and Chaucer's English almost incomprehensible? Why do languages have so many quirks and irregularities? Are they all fundamentally alike? How are new words created? Where in the brain does language reside? In Words and Rules, Steven Pinker answers these and many other questions. Pinker makes sense of everything with the help of a single, powerful idea: that language comprises a mental dictionary of memorized words and a mental grammar of creative rules. It is a distinction that extends beyond language and offers insight into the very nature of the human mind. Words and Rules is a sparkling, eye-opening, and utterly original book by one of the world's leading cognitive scientists. We pack our books properly and ship daily from the UK.…

paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Words and Rules by Steven Pinker is an engaging exploration of how language actually works, using the puzzle of regular and irregular verbs to illuminate the deeper mechanics of the mind. Pinker blends linguistics, psychology and cognitive science to show how our brains balance a mental dictionary of stored words with a mental grammar of creative rules. Drawing on child-language errors, the history of English and modern brain-imaging research, he makes complex ideas accessible, witty and often surprisingly entertaining. A compelling read for anyone interested in language, cognition or popular science.…
