THE LANGUAGE GAME: HOW IMPROVISATION CREATED LANGUAGE AND CHANGED THE WORLD
By Nick Chater & Morten H Christiansen
Synopsis
What is language? Why do we have it? Where does it come from? Why does that matter? Upending centuries of scholarship (including, most recently, Chomsky and Pinker) The Language Game shows how people learn to talk not by acquiring fixed meanings and rules, but by picking up, reusing and recombining countless linguistic fragments in novel ways.
