Description

Language Unlimited: The Science Behind Our Most Creative Power by David Adger explores the mysteries of human language and reveals its underlying structure. Drawing on research from neuroscience, psychology, and linguistics, Adger takes readers on a journey to understand how our brains create and understand language. The book delves into the surprising similarities between the world's 7,000 languages, as well as the differences in how humans and other species process language. It also examines the challenges of learning new languages and how artificial intelligences like Alexa and Siri comprehend language. By uncovering the hidden laws behind human communication, Adger sheds light on the complex and fascinating nature of language. Through this exploration, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the intricate mechanisms that govern our ability to create and understand language, and how these mechanisms shape our thoughts, plans, and interactions with others.
