The Language Instinct Audiobook (Free)

With this classic, the world’s expert on language and brain lucidly explains all you always wanted to know about language: how it operates, how children learn it, how it changes, the way the brain computes it, and how it evolved. With deft usage of examples of laughter and wordplay, Steven Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of vocabulary into a convincing story: language is definitely a human being instinct, wired into our brains by development. The Language Instinct received the William James Book Prize from your American Psychological Association and the general public Interest Award from your Linguistics Culture of America. This release includes an update on developments in the technology of language since The Language Instinct was first released. “Pinker writes with acid verve.” -Atlantic Monthly “An extremely valuable book, extremely informative, and very well crafted.” -Noam Chomsky
