I bough...I guess we need to discover Pinker for us.<br />I bought one another of his books:<br />"The language instinct" - written after "The Stuff of Thought". <br /><br />A seller in Paris (Shakespeare & Co.) told me that he is number one linguist - after Chomsky....<br /><br />I already found that I must read it, also because of some connections to Semantic Web ...<br /><br />There was a lot of ideas in "The Stuff ..." that were important in the context of SW theory.Mirek Sopekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963740104952528135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10197622.post-77881814217675510202009-09-12T20:13:12.427+02:002009-09-12T20:13:12.427+02:00What are we? Our music, our art, and our language ...What are we? Our music, our art, and our language are ways that we reveal ourselves, but language plays a very special role. It is so much more -- useful - to us for some reason. <br />This sounds like a great and deep exploration of the 'stuff' that moves us to communicate and develop language. Now I want to know more - so, this is now on my list!! Thanks!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624538843434297301noreply@blogger.com
