Thirteen Forum: Language as a Window into Human Nature
About This Episode
Harvard University Psychologist Steven Pinker(http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/about/index.html) discusses the relationship between language and human nature. What do the names we give things – and even the prepositions and tenses we use – say about the way our minds work? This lecture, which took place at the New York Academy of Sciences(http://www.nyas.org/events/index.asp), is based on Pinker's new book, The Stuff of Thought (http://www.amazon.com/Stuff-Thought-Language-Window-Nature/dp/0670063274).
