Instead, he applies insights from the sciences of language and mind to the challenge of crafting clear, coherent, and stylish prose. Rethinking the usage guide for the twenty-first century, Pinker doesn't carp about the decline of language or recycle pet peeves from the rulebooks of a century ago. In The Sense of Style, the bestselling linguist and cognitive scientist Steven Pinker answers these questions and more. The Sense of Style : The Thinking Persons Guide to Writing in the 21st Century.
