Stuff of Thought. Language as a Window into Human Nature, Paperback/Steven Pinker

Descriere & specificații

Why do so many swear words involve topics like sex, bodily functions or the divine? Why do some children's names thrive while others fall out of favour? Why do we threaten and bribe and seduce in such elaborate, often comical ways? This title looks at how the relationship between words and thoughts can help us understand who we are.
