I just finished reading it...it's a really interesting book. Makes you look at language differently. Anyone else read it?

Who wrote it? What is the premise? Talk to me! I love books on languages. My favorite is by C.S. Lewis on Phusis, Nature and Natura. How fascinating!

It's by Steven Pinker. It's sort of his views on language, how it works, how we learn it, that sort of thing. It's an interesting read, whether you agree with him or not. Definitely fun if you're interested in language.
