Verdict: The language instinct is justifiably a classic of popular science writing.
Reasons for reading it: It was somewhat ridiculous that I hadn't read this, since it discusses biology and linguistics together and since I've read so much that refers to it.
How it came into my hands:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pseudomonas lent it to me.
