More about the book
Focusing on the intersection of language and the mind, the book explores the biological aspects of language, emphasizing the roles of nature and nurture in language acquisition. It examines how human language evolved and compares it to animal communication systems. A key argument presented is that genetic and biological factors are more influential in language acquisition than instruction, learning, or cultural influences, offering a unique perspective on the development of human linguistic capabilities.
