The Stuff of Thought (by Steven Pinker)

*The Stuff of Thought* by Steven Pinker explores how language reflects human cognition and our ways of thinking. Pinker examines how words and grammar reveal our mental processes, categorization, and reasoning. He discusses how language helps us understand concepts, infer meaning, and communicate complex ideas, all rooted in our brains' innate structures and social experiences. The book bridges linguistics, psychology, and neuroscience, showing that language is not just a tool for communication but also a window into how we think and perceive the world.
