steven pinker - and language

Steven Pinker is very interested in language:
Steven Pinker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He brought out a book, starting with Chomsky's theory that we are born with a capacity for language:
The Language Instinct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He has produced lots of accessible material:

Steven Pinker: What our language habits reveal | Talk Video | TED.com



RSA Animate - Language as a Window into Human Nature - YouTube

He's got a new book out:

BBC Radio 4 - Open Book, The Brethren; The Sense of Style
