Pinker Steven. The language instinct
Penguin Books, 1995. — 435 p. — ISBN10: 0060976519, ISBN13: 9780060976514.
The Language Instinct is a 1994 book by Steven Pinker. Written for a general audience, it argues that humans are born with an innate capacity for language. It deals sympathetically with Noam Chomsky's claim that all human language shows evidence of a universal grammar, but dissents from Chomsky's skepticism that evolutionary theory can explain the human language instinct.
This book is intended for everyone who uses language and that means everyone!
