AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"There are 348 pages in Steven Pinker's new book and they are nearly all about the past tenses of Verbs....Yet it is neither tedious nor pedantic. Pinker has rightly been called the only linguist who can write readable prose, and if there is anybody who can make irregular verbs gripping it is he. His purpose is to take verbs as a case history of how language is contained in the brain and explore it in depth....The result is a fascinating voyage of discovery."Pinker, Steven is the author of 'Words and Rules The Ingredients of Language', published 2000 under ISBN 9780060958404 and ISBN 0060958405.
