Talk:The Language Instinct

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One went so far as to describe Pinker as the only linguist he knew who was able to write readable prose.

I'd second that.

Whew, just spent considerable time expanding on the stub. I admire Pinker's writing style, and the book's implications really are sweeping. It's important to put the work in the context of evolutionary psychology / sociobiology to understand what he and other authors are really getting at. --Kris Schnee 10:11, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

If this is a genuine quotation, a reference should be cited. Otherwise it should be deleted.
