Title: Pretty good read
Review: I got interested in lingustics by reading Steve Pinker's books. But what I learned after reading this book is some of the things Pinker presents as settled cases are actually not so settled. In the Infinite Gift, Yang presents a veiw of language aquisition that seems different than Pinker on the surface, untyil you realize the language instinct is more about how kids learn language in total while this book applies more specifically to the aquisition of grammer.I highly recomment reading this and the language instinct, especially to those who have kids and view them at least partially as little labs for learning about language aquisition. I think the two books together are much better than either alone.
