Synopsis

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.

� propos de l?auteur

Steven Pinker is Director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at the Massachusetts Institute of the Technology.
