The book "Language as Instinct" by the renowned Canadian linguist and neuropsychologist was written in 1994 and has since become an acclaimed bestseller. Aimed at the widest range of readers, it also serves as an introduction to the science of language for many professionals. Stephen Pinker managed to combine in her the enthusiasm of a bright storyteller and the scrupulousness of the approach of a true scientist. Relying on the tenets of Darwin and Chomsky, Pinker goes further and puts forward the idea that a person from birth has the ability to language. The child spontaneously learns grammar even in a mixed cultural environment; for the development of speech, he does not need formal rules or corrections from his parents. The huge range of problems raised by the author does not leave indifferent anyone who uses the language. What is the essence of the language? How does it work? Do the words that permeate our lives with each new generation destroy him? How are language and thinking related? These and many other questions considered by Pinker in the book were often asked and practiced during his lectures, which became significant for the public. Entertaining examples from modern English, including poetry, songs, slang, make the narrative easy and lively.
