If you have ever wondered about language--how it is learned, how the brain "makes" it, how it is universal, how it changes--this is your book. This award-winning bestseller is absolutely comprehensive. I found it a bit daunting at first--448 pages plus notes, glossary, etc. But I had to read it for my book group, and I'm really glad I did. Erudite but accessible. I recommend it highly.
