Steven Pinker

Steven Pinker is a renowned psychologist and linguist known for his work in cognitive science and language acquisition. He argues that humans have an innate capacity for language, suggesting that our ability to learn languages is hardwired in our brains. Pinker explores how this instinctive knowledge shapes our thought processes and cultural development. His books, such as "The Language Instinct," emphasize the connection between language, the mind, and evolution, highlighting how language is both a universal human trait and a complex system shaped by biological factors and social interaction.
