In this landmark study, Chomsky argues that language is not a learned behaviour shaped purely by environment, but an innate biological faculty — a defining characteristic of the human species. Drawing on his groundbreaking theory of generative grammar, he presents a rigorous yet engaging case for a language organ wired into the human brain, challenging behaviourist orthodoxy and laying the philosophical groundwork for modern cognitive science.\n\nBeyond linguistics, Reflections on Language touches on profound questions of mind, knowledge, and human nature, weaving together threads from Cartesian philosophy, psychology, and biology. Chomsky's prose is precise and combative, unafraid to dismantle prevailing assumptions with surgical clarity. Written for a broad intellectual audience, this work remains essential reading for anyone curious about what it truly means to be a speaking, thinking human being — and what language reveals about the architecture of the mind itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130600759515,"sku":"2026200009829-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/37af33d1-0bab-4c27-b9f6-6e6c22369382.png?v=1786587182","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009829-secondhand-reflections-on-language","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
