Linguistics books Linguistics books The Auraicept na n-Éces ("the scholars' primer") is claimed as a 7th century work of Irish grammarians, written by a scholar named Longarad. The only surviving copy of the Auraicept is preserverd in the Book of Ballymote (foll. 169r–180r), compiled by Maghnus Ó Duibhgeánáin of County Sligo in 1390. The core of the text could indeed date to the mid-7th century, but much material will have been added over the 700 years preceding the text as recorded in the Book of Ballymote. ...more on Wikipedia about "Auraicept na n-Éces"

The Language Instinct is a book by Steven Pinker, published in 1995, in which he argues the case for the belief that humans are born with an innate capacity for language. In addition, he deals sympathetically with the still stronger claim of Noam Chomsky that all human language shows evidence of a universal grammar. In the final chapter Pinker dissents from the apparent skepticism shown by Chomsky that evolution by natural selection is equal to the challenge of explaining a human language instinct. ...more on Wikipedia about "The Language Instinct"

Verbal Behavior ( 1957) is a book written by B.F. Skinner in which the author presents his ideas on language. For Skinner, speech, along with other forms of communication, was simply a behavior. Skinner argued that each act of speech is an inevitable consequence of the speaker's current environment and his behavioral and sensory history, and derided mentalistic terms such as "idea", "plan" and "concept" as unscientific and of no use in the study of behavior. For Skinner, the proper object of study is behavior itself, analysed without reference to mental structure, but rather with reference to the structure and history of the environment in which particular behaviors occur. ...more on Wikipedia about "Verbal Behavior"
Words and Rules: The Ingredients of Language (ISBN 0060958405) is a 1999 popular linguistics book by Steven Pinker on the subject of regular and irregular verbs. In Pinker's words, the book "tries to illuminate the nature of language and mind by choosing a single phenomenon and examining it from every angle imaginable." His analysis favors the Chomskyan model of an innate Universal Grammar and reflects Pinker's belief that language and many other aspects of human nature are innate evolutionary-psychological adaptations. Most of the book examines studies of the form and frequency of grammatical errors in English (and to a lesser extent in German) as well as the speech of brain-damaged persons with selective aphasia. ...more on Wikipedia about "Words and Rules"
