| This is one of the most fascinating books I ever read. It turns out that the brain has hardware for parsing language. Shortly after birth, the parsing engine gets configured to the particular language it hears. Humans without access to a common language will spontaneously develop a pidgin language and within a generation or two will develop a full creole with a complex grammar. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Greyed out stores probably do not have the item in stock. Try looking for it with a bookfinder. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
