Language and Mind (book)

"Language and Mind," by Noam Chomsky, explores how humans acquire language and the nature of linguistic ability. It examines the idea that the capacity for language is innate—hardwired into our brains—and how this influences our understanding of thought and cognition. The book discusses the structure of languages, the universality of grammatical principles, and challenges previous views that language is learned solely through imitation. Overall, it provides insights into the deep connection between language, mental processes, and what makes human communication unique.
