The Language Instinct (book)

"The Language Instinct," written by Steven Pinker, explores the idea that the ability to use language is an innate human trait, much like a natural instinct. Pinker argues that our brains are specifically wired for language, which evolves and adapts as we grow. He discusses how children effortlessly learn languages, the structure of languages, and the idea that language is a unique feature of humanity. The book combines insights from psychology, linguistics, and evolutionary biology, making a compelling case for language as an essential part of what it means to be human.
