Language Instinct

Steven Pinker

Although not specifically about sign language, this is an important and fascinating book that provides background reading for professionals and lay readers alike. How did language evolve? Why is structural grammatical language specifically human? How old is language? Such questions are discussed here 'with a rare vitality of intense excitement to understand and communicate....a work of imaginative deep scholarship'.-Richard L. Gregory. Paperback 494 pages 1994
